AgendaThe Simulation Buyer’s Guide provides clear instructions and decision points for selecting analysis software for a variety of applications in these analysis areas and more: Static Structural Analysis Dynamic Structural Analysis Thermal Analysis Fluid Flow Analysis

4

RoadmapStatic Structural Analysis• Response of structures to mechanical loads – forces, pressures, torques, etc.• Can also include estimations of fatigue life and buckling failure• Includes both linear and nonlinear approximations

5

Initial Visual RoadmapStatic Structural Analysis Options• SimXpress –every license of SOLIDWORKS

• Single part only, limited conditions• Simulation – part of SOLIDWORKS Premium

• Comprehensive linear static stress analysis• Yield is only mode of failure considered

• Simulation Professional • Adds other modes of failure – buckling, fatigue• Adds productivity tools – optimization, submodeling

• Simulation Premium• Adds nonlinear capability• Includes large displacement modeling• Nonlinear material models

• SIMULIA Abaqus CAE• Analyst level tool for complex scenarios

6

RoadmapStatic Structural – SIMULIA Abaqus applicationsSample extension applications for SIMULIA Abaqus

• Very large deformation and nonlinear loading• Crack propagation and fracture modeling• Complex composite material analysis• Metal forming applications

 

7

Initial Visual RoadmapDynamic Structural Analysis• Response of models to loading that changes with time (or frequency)• Can be considered to include kinematic motion analysis tools like SOLIDWORKS Motion• Simplest vibration information starts with extraction of modal frequencies• Full dynamic analysis provides amplitude of response vs time or frequency.

8

Initial Visual RoadmapDynamic Structural Analysis Options• SOLIDWORKS Motion – SOLIDWORKS Premium

• Rigid body, kinematic motion analysis using SOLIDWORKS mates• Loads can be transferred at key points to SOLIDWORKS Simulation

• Frequency Analysis – Simulation Professional• Modal frequencies of a structure• Identifies “danger points” for vibration

• Drop Test – Simulation Professional• Limited boundary conditions

• Dynamic Analysis – Simulation Premium• True displacement/acceleration/stress response to excitation• Time History – typically shock or impact testing• Harmonic – vibration testing• Random Vibration – complex, difficult to quantify vibration

• SIMULIA Abaqus CAE• Analyst level dynamic testing – multibody dynamics, crash testing

9

Initial Visual RoadmapDynamic Structural – SIMULIA Abaqus ApplicationsSample SIMULIA Abaqus dynamic applications• Impact testing (e.g., bird strike)• Crash testing• Drop testing• Multi-body dynamics

10

Initial Visual RoadmapThermal AnalysisAssessment of how heat flows through a model

• Three modes of heat transfer can be evaluated – conduction, convection, radiation.• FEA approaches make an estimate of convection• CFD approaches analyze convection and fluid flow explicitly

11

Initial Visual RoadmapThermal Analysis OptionsTwo approaches to thermal analysis available for SOLIDWORKS

• SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional – Thermal Analysis• FEA-based approach to thermal analysis• Convection is estimated by specifying a convection coefficient• Conduction and radiation are explicitly calculated

• SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation• CFD-based approach to thermal analysis• Convection is analyzed explicitly by calculating the fluid flow from natural or forced convection• Conduction and radiation are explicitly calculated

• Both approaches can include steady state or thermal analysis, and both approaches can export thermal results to stress analysis for thermal stress and distortion analysis

12

Initial Visual RoadmapFluid Flow AnalysisAssessment of how gas or liquid flow around or through a model

• Used for estimation of aerodynamic drag and lift• Pressure drop calculations in valves/pipes and industrial components• Often run in conjunction with thermal analysis – our CFD code considers both fluid flow and

heat transfer calculations simultaneously.

13

Initial Visual Fluid Flow Analysis Options• FloXpress – Every license of SOLIDWORKS

• Very simple internal flow analysis with limited input conditions, and visual results only• SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation

• Comprehensive CFD solution• Rich analysis conditions available• Incompressible, compressible flows, up to High Mach numbers

• SIMULIA Abaqus CAE• High end analysis solution• Includes fluid-structure interaction capabilities• Multiple CFD methodologies available
