Bring your product to market faster
and with less prototyping.

SOLIDWORKS Simulation is a comprehensive structural analysis solution fully embedded within SOLIDWORKS that can be used by designers and analysts alike to enable companies to get their products to market faster and with less cost without sacrificing quality or performance.

Why Choose SOLIDWORKS Simulation?

SOLIDWORKS® Simulation is an easy-to-use portfolio of structural analysis solutions using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to predict a product’s real-world physical behavior by virtually testing CAD models. The portfolio of simulation solutions offers everything designers need—from entry-level to more advanced capabilities—for linear, nonlinear static, and dynamic analysis.

Key Benefits:

Discovers alternative designs shapes with Topology optimisation

Reduces time-to-market by quickly determining optimal design solutions 

Predicts product performance, Factor of Safety (FOS) and fatigue capabilities early-on in the process

Reduces materials cost. SOLIDWORKS Simulation enables design teams to safely remove unnecessary material

Streamlines the costly testing and certification process by virtually testing and refining your designs first
