SOLIDWORKS Simulation - Linear Static Assembly Analysis

by Corey Bower

Linear static stress analysis of an assembly is a core element of the design process. This course will teach you how to set up and run a linear static stress analysis of an assembly. Software required: SOLIDWORKS 2017.

What you'll learn

To complete a linear static analysis of an assembly in SOLIDWORKS Simulation, many steps need to be followed. In this course, SOLIDWORKS Simulation - Linear Static Assembly Analysis, you will be guided through each of these steps to ensure accuracy from start to finish. First, you will see the basics of Finite Element Analysis. From there, you will complete the setup of materials, connections, fixtures, loads, and mesh. After you run the analysis, you will interpret the results. After completing this course, setting up and running a linear static stress analysis on an assembly will be much easier and you will be prepared to do it on your own in the future. Software required: SOLIDWORKS 2017.
