Loads in SOLIDWORKS Simulation You can: Apply pressure, either uniform or nonuniform, in any direction. Apply loads with nonuniform distribution. Apply gravitational or centrifigal (e.g., rotating machinery) loads. Apply bearing or remote forces. Remote forces are applied at remote locations connected to the part with imaginary rigid links. Import loads directly from SOLIDWORKS Motion and SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation. Define bearing, bolt, edge weld, elastic support, grounded bolt, pin, rigid, spot weld, spring, and spring-damper connectors. Apply temperatures to different locations of the part. Changes in temperatures produce stresses in the part. These stresses are called thermal stresses. SOLIDWORKS Simulation uses the temperature profile from a thermal study and performs thermal stress analysis. Save common loads in an analysis library for future use.
