SOLIDWORKS Simulation SOLIDWORKS Simulation Standard, SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional, and SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium are available as separately purchased products that can be used with SOLIDWORKS Standard, SOLIDWORKS Professional, and SOLIDWORKS Premium. Contents Customized Numerical Format The Microsoft® Windows® system options you define for formatting numerical values propagate to post processing of simulation results. Enhanced Remote Load/Mass PropertyManager The Remote Load/Mass PropertyManager is redesigned to improve the user experience and enhanced with the introduction of distributed coupling for linear static, nonlinear static, and topology studies. Distributed Coupling for Remote Load and Mass Distributed coupling constrains the motion of the coupling nodes to the translation and rotation of the reference node. Pin Connector The improved pin connector is extended to nonlinear static and nonlinear dynamic studies. You can define a pin connector through more than two cylindrical surfaces in one definition. Simulation Performance Improvements There are improvements in overall stability and performance while solving a simulation, especially for linear static studies with multiple load cases. Stress Averaging at Mid-side Nodes An improved stress averaging algorithm yields better stress results for the mid-side nodes of high-quality solid elements. Topology Study Topology Study enhancements include: addition of stress (factor of safety) and frequency values as design constraints, export of an optimized shape as a mesh body, and an option to save intermediate results.
