SOLIDWORKS Simulation

Bring real-world performance into your design process with SOLIDWORKS Simulation—a powerful, fully integrated analysis solution that lets you validate, optimise, and innovate without the cost and delay of physical prototyping.

This October, we've got great deals on Simulation and Simulation Training

Simulation Solutions

Turn ideas into Proven Designs

With built-in simulation tools powered by Finite Element Analysis (FEA), SOLIDWORKS Simulation enables engineers to predict how products will behave under real-world conditions—before they’re built.

From early concept through to final validation, you can test, refine, and improve designs in the same environment you create them.

Why SOLIDWORKS Simulation?

Design with confidence
Identify potential failures early by analysing stress, strain, and deformation under real-world loads.

Accelerate time to market
Reduce reliance on costly prototypes and physical testing by validating designs virtually.

Optimise performance
Explore multiple design scenarios to improve strength, durability, and efficiency.

Fully integrated workflow
Work directly inside your SOLIDWORKS CAD environment—no data translation, no workflow disruption.

Structural simulation

Structural simulation using the Finite Element Method (FEM) and related technologies, offers a deep understanding of how products, assemblies, and processes respond to real-world conditions, including varying loads and temperature

Electromagnetic simulation

Investigate the electromagnetic properties of components or whole systems efficiently. Electromagnetic (EM) systems often pose multiscale challenges, such as wide frequency ranges and electrically large structures with fine detail.
