Dynamic Loads
Dynamic loads can be generally classified as deterministic or non-deterministic. Deterministic loads are well-defined as functions of time and can be predicted precisely. They can be harmonic, periodic, or non-periodic. If the loads are deterministic, the results are also deterministic. Non-deterministic loads cannot be well-defined as explicit functions of time, and they are best described by statistical parameters. If the loads are non-deterministic, the results are also non-deterministic.
Typical dynamic loads are shown below:
To handle different loading environments, SolidWorks Simulation offers three types of linear dynamic studies:
