Shells

Enhancements for shells include:
  • Improved accuracy of the bonding algorithm between shell edges and faces for static, frequency, buckling, and nonlinear studies.
  • Transfer of temperature and pressure data from SolidWorks Flow Simulation.

  • Auto-bonding Shell Edges to Solid Faces
    The algorithm of bonding a shell edge to a solid face is improved to consider the shell thickness. When you define a global or local bonding contact, the software virtually imprints the thickness of the shell edge on the touching solid faces, and applies bonding automatically.
  • Import Flow Simulation Data
    You can import results from Flow Simulation analyses performed with thin solid or sheet metal parts to shells in SolidWorks Simulation. Imported data include temperature, pressure, shear stresses, and convection coefficient. You can view a graphic plot of the imported data in SolidWorks Simulation.
