Functionality that was available only with SOLIDWORKS Simulation
Professional and SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium licenses is now available with SOLIDWORKS
Simulation Standard licenses.
- Automatic detection of underconstrained bodies. The Automatically detect underconstrained bodies
option that you access from the System Options -
General dialog box is available for all SOLIDWORKS Simulation
licenses.
When you select Automatically detect
underconstrained bodies, the solver detects bodies that are
not sufficiently constrained during simulation and can exhibit translational
or rotational rigid body modes if the model is unstable. The automatic
detection of rigid bodies is available for linear static studies.
- Advanced bonding and contact algorithms. Improved memory estimate, allocation,
and management by the solver allows the completion of large surface-to-surface
bonded and contact interaction sets that previously failed because of
insufficient memory.
- Function-based communication. Passing data to the equation solvers FFEPlus
and Large Problem Direct Sparse is more efficient for all licenses.
Function-based data communication through memory usage replaces file-based
communication.
