SOLIDWORKS Simulation

Learn the basics of Finite Element Analysis (FEA). This course provides an in-depth coverage on the basics of Finite Element Analysis (FE) covering the entire analysis process from meshing to evaluation of results for parts and assemblies.

Upon completion of this course, you will

• Have gained an understanding of using Analysis tools in SOLIDWORKS
• Create better designs by performing analysis and evaluating the behaviour of your parts and assemblies under actual service conditions

All SOLIDWORKS Simulation users wishing to create better designs in SOLIDWORKS by performing analysis and evaluating the behaviour of their parts and assemblies under actual service conditions.
