SolidWorks Simulation Reviews & Product Details

Simulation helps in the design process when you aren't sure if a machine isn't going to be strong enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simulation is difficult to set up if you don't know what you're doing. You have to know exactly where to apply forces and make assemblies as parts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User friendly, very simple. Has some nice features like interference and standard bolts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not good for large dense mesh. Needs a lot of RAM and time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to setup model for FEA and gives quick idea for design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not capable of performing FEA analysis of large models and results are approx. not accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy of use and the visual results are great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The costs. When I was a student it's was cheap (student license) but it's expensive when you need a full license Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That you can simulate all forces you expect to have so the product is tested before even made Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it is to heavy on the computer but that is not the programs fault Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a brilliant tool to make strength tests, and multiple kind of exercises to the assemblies and pieces modeled. When I started using it, I though that only few options were able to do the test, however it has overpass my spectations and knowledge. It has been carefully developed by Solid works team.

Actually there are anything that I really dislike, but if I would had to say ones, it would be great that the simulation xpress application could be used with assemblies. In my solidworks version it is not possible to do test with more than one piece, and it is useful in many cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The functions you have are very good. Its difference with other software is excellent, this software allows me to create pieces and also simulate the behavior of them.

This software allows me to verify how the piece would behave in the tangible field, in addition to differentiating various materials with which I can design the pieces according to the functions that it will fulfill. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

as it is a complex software it has functions that confuse but, for its use, a much more advanced knowledge is required than the necessary one to operate other less complex sofware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It integrates with SolidWorks modeling and the numerical analysis is similar to other commonly-used commercial programs such as ANSYS, SAP2000 and Abaqus. More options can be selected from analyzing industry products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To conduct a nonlinear analysis, an education-version user may need to upgrade to the premium version of SolidWorks since the education license does not include this package. Simple static analysis works fine with the education license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recently I took training on solidworks simulation and it has so many features in it. its mainly about solving and analysis and less of pre processing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need lots of time to get hands on, due to lost of deep things to do and the training does not cover most of it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use for a quick simulation and the way commands are layed out. Also, with the simulation wizard, performing any type of simulation is streamlined in steps and easy to follow instructions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That the mesh cannot be customized to different shapes. Also the residuals are not shown, nor the methods use to develop solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
