What is SOLIDWORKS SIMULATION and why is it needed?

SOLIDWORKS Simulation is superb software helping to validate designs. With a built-in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) program, SOLIDWORKS SIMULATION provides an easy-to-use interface and empowers engineers, designers, and other users to test their designs. Since NAFEMS validated FEA solvers are used, any type of static or dynamic analysis, stress tests, etc. can be undertaken and the results are reliable. This in turn helps reduce prototype cost and material wastage, shortens design cycle time, eliminates errors/risks of failure, and helps widen the product base of a company without heavy investment in development.
