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,

Yes, you read that correctly. No, I did not change companies to work a for 2D CAD Company. Sometimes, though, if the proper conditions apply, a 2D Simulation analysis can save huge amounts of time and processing power. SOLIDWORKS Simulation has the ability to simplify certain cases from large, complex meshes to lightweight 2D meshes

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

Speaking as a salesperson who had to google FEA to be sure I got the acronym right, pitching the purchase of a good finite element analysis package to upper management can be a daunting task. While I might not be able to help you with your non-linear mesh problems (mostly since I initially thought it
