SolidWorks, simulation




SOLIDWORKS is CAD software developed by Dassault Systèmes. It's one of the market leaders in 3D design, yet relatively easy to learn. At the end of this course, you'll be able to define a virtual environment with real-life conditions to test your product designs.

Teaching objectives
At the end of the training, the participant will be able to:
Master the analysis process
Control meshes, stress concentrations and boundary conditions
Analyze assemblies with contacts and connectors
Knowing, analyzing and refining compatible/incompatible meshes
Analyze thin components
Know the mixed mesh of hulls, volumes and beams
Thermoelastic analysis
Adapting to different scenarios

Intended audience
Those involved in projects requiring the use of SOLIDWORKS analysis functions on designs (design engineers, etc.).

Prerequisites
Familiarity with SOLIDWORKS software (having taken the SOLIDWORKS initiation and advanced training courses or having a good grounding in mechanical engineering).

Practical details
Hands-on work
Discussions, experience sharing, demonstrations, tutorials and case studies.
Teaching methods
Active pedagogy based on case studies, carried out in agile mode, and assessment of skills acquired throughout the course.
