Linear stress analysis with SolidWorks Simulation enables
designers and engineers to quickly and efficiently validate quality,
performance, and safety—all while creating their design.
Tightly integrated with SolidWorks CAD, linear stress
analysis using SolidWorks Simulation can be a regular part of your design
process, reducing the need for costly prototypes, eliminating rework and
delays, and saving time and development costs.
Linear Stress Analysis Overview
Linear stress analysis calculates the stresses and
deformations of geometry given three basic assumptions:
The part or assembly under load deforms with small rotations
and displacements
The product loading is static (ignores inertia) and constant
over time
The material has a constant stress strain relationship
(Hooke’s law)
SolidWorks Simulation uses finite element analysis (FEA)
methods to discretize design components into solid, shell, or beam elements and
uses linear stress analysis to determine the response of parts and assemblies
due to the effect of:
Forces
Pressures
Accelerations
Temperatures
Contact between components
Loads can be imported from thermal, flow, and motion
Simulation studies to perform multiphysics analysis.
In order to carry out stress analysis, component material
data must be known. The standard SolidWorks CAD material database is
pre-populated with materials that can be used by SolidWorks Simulation, and the
database is easily customizable to include your particular material
requirements.
