SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium Non-Linear Training

Raise your SOLIDWORKS Simulation FEA skills to the next level. This course provides an overview on a wide range of nonlinear structural/mechanical analysis topics.

• Geometric Non linearities


• Large displacements problems


• Large strain formulation




• Material Non linearities


• Nonlinear elasticity


• Plasticity (von Mises, isotropic/kinematic/mixed hardening rules)


• Temperature dependent material properties


• Visco-elasticity and creep




• Contact (Boundary) Non linearities


• 3D nonlinear gap/contact analysis


• Numerical Procedures


• Solution control techniques


• Equilibrium Iterations schemes


• Termination schemes




• Special Topics


• Adaptive automatic stepping algorithm


• Prescribed non-zero displacements associated with time curves


• Deformation dependent loading


• Analysis stabilization techniques




• Viewing the Results


• Deflected shape plots


• Displacement and stress color filled contour plots


• Animation of deflected shape, displacement, and stress contour plots

On completion of this course you will know how to deal with models that exhibit large displacements and/or yielding; discuss and practice the use of many material models available in SOLIDWORKS Simulation and, most importantly, how to drive a nonlinear analysis to successful completion
