What Are the 5 Essential Rules for Performing Linear Static Simulation in SOLIDWORKS?

Image
  SWX Simulation Rules: Generally, there are few conditions to be considered for performing  linear static simulation  in a right way. In other words, there are  5 rules  to be followed. So, in this blog, we will discuss about the  5 major rules  used to explain how to prioritize the parameters to perform better  linear static studies . 5 Rules of Linear Static Simulation Materials are Linear Elastic Results are Linear Load is solved in one step Deformations are small Stiffness is not Changing Materials are Linear Elastic Consider the  Stress – Strain curve , the  elastic modulus  is linear which means that when the loads are doubled the displacement is also doubled. For example,  Steel ,  Aluminium  corresponds to the  linear elastic behaviour . By default, the  linear elastic behaviour  is considered as  isotropic . The  Mechanical Properties  are the same in all the directions. Fig: 1 ...

What Are the Benefits of Using SOLIDWORKS DimXpert and TolAnalyst for Tolerance Analysis?

  SOLIDWORKS DIMXPERT and TOLERANCE STACKUP ANALYSIS The DimXpert and TolAnalyst tools that are built into SOLIDWORKS software. The purpose of the tool is to meet the information we use to create our designs is same as the information we provide to manufacturing. But it isn’t same in many scenarios, that’s why the DimXpert and TolAnalyst are used widely.                               DESIGN INFORMATION ≠ MANUFACTURING Why DimXpert? In Engineering, detailing a model is always challenging due to manual dimensioning. Which leads to inaccuracies and inconsistencies. Managing geometric tolerances and updating designs manually become tedious and its leading to potential errors. High complex detail drawing documentation requires more manual efforts without a tool like DimXpert. DIMXPERT DimXpert is a feature in SOLIDWORKS that speed up the process of dimensioning a 3D models, even if the model i...
