Understanding how your designs will perform can be harder than it seems. Assumptions only go so far, and physical prototypes add time and cost. This session walks through how SOLIDWORKS Simulation can turn those questions into clear, reliable answers using practical, real-world examples.
You’ll see how Simulation Professional and Premium use NAFEMS-validated solvers to deliver trustworthy results, and how study types such as linear static analysis, modal vibration, DoE, and topology optimization fit into everyday engineering decisions. We also look at assembly analysis and comparative workflows that help you refine designs with confidence.
If you’re looking for a straightforward way to make your design process more predictable and more efficient, this session shows how simulation can become one of your most valuable tools inside SOLIDWORKS.
