Simulation Advisor
Simulation Advisor is a set
of tools that guide you though the analysis process. By answering a series
of questions, these tools collect the necessary data to help you perform
your analysis. Simulation Advisor includes:
Study Advisor.
Recommends study types and outputs to expect. Helps you define sensors
and creates studies automatically.
Bodies and Materials
Advisor. Lets you specify how to treat bodies within a part or
an assembly and apply materials to components.
Interactions
Advisor. Defines internal interactions between bodies in the model
as well as external interactions between the model and the environment.
Interactions can include loads, fixtures, connectors, and contacts.
Mesh and Run
Advisor. Helps you specify the mesh and run the study.
Results Advisor.
Provides tips for interpreting and viewing the output of the simulation.
Also, helps determine if frequency or buckling might be areas of concern.
Simulation Advisor works with
the SolidWorks Simulation interface by starting the appropriate PropertyManagers
and linking to online help topics for additional information. Simulation
Advisor leads you through the analysis workflow from determining
the study type through analyzing the simulation output. By following the
workflow, you use, depending on your requirements, each of the individual
Advisors.
To start the Simulation
Advisor, click Study 
(Simulation CommandManager). The Simulation
Advisor tab 
appears in the Task Pane.
To access individual advisors:
Click Study
(Simulation CommandManager) to access the Study
Advisor.
Click Fixtures
(Simulation CommandManager) to access the Fixtures
section of the Interactions
Advisor.
Click External
Loads 
(Simulation CommandManager) to access the
Loads section of the Interactions Advisor.
Click Connections
(Simulation CommandManager) to access the Connections
section of the Interactions
Advisor.
Click Results
(Simulation CommandManager) to access the Results
Advisor.
