Eleven years ago (wow that makes me feel old), Paul Teutul Sr. and Paul Jr. took the stage at SOLIDWORKS World 2005 in Orlando. They discussed how SOLIDWORKS helped them in their custom design and fabrication of motorcycles (choppers). Unless you lived under a rock, I’m sure you have heard of their show American Chopper, or

In the first part of this blog series, we talked about the Linear Elastic material models which obey Hooke’s law to identify material behavior. To read part one, click here. Hooke’s law is by far one of the most used principles of physics because, simply put, it works! Well, at least in most cases, but not all,

When it comes to Nonlinear analysis, the #1 criteria that really drives the entire analysis is the material (properties). In this blog series, we will take a closer look at all the different material model types that can be found in the SOLIDWORKS Simulation Nonlinear module. To start, there are 5 main types of material
