SolidWorks offers a suite of simulation packages that let you
set up a virtual real-world environment to test your product
designs. Test against a broad range of parameters throughout the
design process-like durability, dynamic response, heat and
pressure, even fluid dynamics-to evaluate performance and make
decisions to improve product quality and safety. Simulation lowers
cost and speeds time to market by reducing the number of physical
prototypes you need before going into production.
SolidWorks Simulation Premium software provides a full range of
simulation capabilities to test product durability and bolsters the
depth of Simulation Professional with additional features,
including tools for simulating nonlinear and dynamic response and
dynamic loading.
SolidWorks Simulation Professional goes beyond core simulation
and expands the virtual test environment to product durability and
natural frequencies, heat transfer and buckling, and pressure
analysis and complex loading.
Included with the SolidWorks Premium 3D CAD design package,
SolidWorks Simulation provides core simulation tools to test
strength and safety, analyze the kinematics, and simulate real
world performance to help you make the decisions that improve
quality.
SolidWorks Flow Simulation takes the complexity out of
computational fluid dynamics to quickly and easily simulate fluid
flow, heat transfer, and fluid forces critical to your design.
SolidWorks SimulationXpress is a first-pass basic stress
analysis tool that comes with every SolidWorks Standard and
Professional software package.
