Fixtures in SOLIDWORKS Simulation

In SOLIDWORKS Simulation, you can:

  • Apply fixtures to edges, vertices, and beam joints.
  • Specify a zero (no movement) or a prescribed value of displacement in any direction.
  • Specify symmetry conditions, allowing you to exploit symmetry by analyzing a portion of the model.
  • Specify a sliding condition where a planar or non-planar face can slide but cannot move in the normal direction.
  • Save common fixtures in an analysis library for future use.
