- Study PropertyManager
You use the Study PropertyManager to create a new Plastics study or edit an existing one.
- Opening Legacy Studies
Due to the extensive redesign of SOLIDWORKS Plastics 2020, plastics studies created in SOLIDWORKS Plastics 2019 and earlier releases are read-only.
- Choosing the Analysis Procedure: Solid or Shell
Numerical simulation uses discrete approximations of continuum mechanics. Good numerical methods seek to balance accuracy, robustness, and performance.
- Saving Plastics Studies
It is good practice to save your work as you set up and run the simulation, and before you close the session.
- Analysis Manager
The Analysis Manager displays the progress of the active analysis and provides options to suspend or resume the analysis.
