Solidworks Simulation Professional 2012 13
Rapheal Charlton
SOLIDWORKS Simulation Standard and Professional both contain the essential linear-static analysis capabilities, allowing you to easily perform and iterate your design validation. The two primary differences between simulation Standard and Professional is the addition of numerous study types and efficiency tools that are included with SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional. These additions will help you to better predict failure due to many common failure modes, and will streamline the process of analyzing larger or more complex problems.
In addition to all the capabilities of the Standard and Professional simulation packages, SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium will enable you to solve nonlinear and/or dynamic problems. These analysis types allow you to better represent the materials and conditions of your design, and make it possible to consider the many conditions your products will be subjected to during their life-cycle.
A ccuracy and reliability is a common question of all Simulation tools. How do we know the results can be trusted? Fortunately, there is an independent group that handles this. The National Agency for Finite Element Methods and Standards (NAFEMS) tests simulation programs against benchmark studies with known results that have been validated mathematically and empirically. All study types available in SOLIDWORKS Simulation have been tested and validated by NAFEMS.
GoEngineer offers online and classroom professional SOLIDWORKS training for organizations and individuals. All our instructors are SOLIDWORKS certified and teach thousands of students each year world wide. The curriculum is very diverse with numerous certified SOLIDWORKS courses to choose from. Each student will receive a Course Completion Certificate and preparation materials for SOLIDWORKS certification.
SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD (All Packages)
If your simulation needs require only the static analyses of individual parts, the SimulationXpress tool may be best for you. SimulationXpress is available for free in every seat of SOLIDWORKS Standard, Professional, and Premium.
SOLIDWORKS Premium
SOLIDWORKS Premium includes SimulationXpress, but takes it a step further to give you access to a light version of the Simulation add-n, which provides time-based motion and linear static simulation capabilities for assemblies in addition to parts.
Abaqus
Abaqus is meant to accurately simulate whatever mechanical scenario you can throw at it, and in being so open-ended, may require more user training and knowledge. It makes up for this in sheer efficiency and capability. Abaqus simulations scale very well and provide trustworthy results even under extreme loading conditions. It is used from the earliest design phases up through physical prototyping, and even into correlating and rectifying product failures in the field.
SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional
The Simulation Professional add-in includes all the tools and capabilities included in Simulation Standard and adds multiple productivity tools to decrease set-up time, including optimization, 2D simplification, edge weld connectors, toolbox automation, submodeling, material web portal, load case manager, and contact visualization. Additional failure modes/study types include frequency, buckling, thermal, drop test, and pressure vessel simulations.
No, you cannot run a Simulation without having your primary SOLIDWORKS license open and running. If, for example, you are using SOLIDWORKS Professional to perform the simulation then that entire license is considered in use and unavailable to another user while the simulation runs.
Another option, is to request a demonstration of the simulation software by our certified application engineers. This ensures that the features and functionality in the product cover the type of analysis or optimization needed.
They manage the full process from sourcing to starting and regardless of your choice of CAD toolsor what you're designing. So if you're looking to find a suitable CAD professional for yourbusiness then visit their site to learn more.

Course Description:
This course is designed to make SOLIDWORKS Simulation users productive with the SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional extension. This course will provide in-depth coverage on the advanced topics in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) including heat transfer analysis, frequency analysis, fatigue, stability analysis based on the linear buckling concepts, 2D simulations (plane stress, strain, and axisymmetry) and pressure vessel modulus. Example parts and assemblies including those with various gap contact conditions are reviewed.

I could have a stab, but two things. Creo Simulate is quite limited compared with the likes of Ansys, and badly crippled if you have the cheaper licence, but will do a good and accurate linear analysis of simple parts and assemblies thanks to its p-elements and a robust mesher. Solidworks Simulation on the other hand, while very similar on paper, is by comparisson a challenge to mesh with, and contained until recently at least one bug that was so serious that the product should be recalled and subjected to an independent expert review. No professional should touch it.
I have both. I bought SW Simulation as I was grumpy with the service from Creo. Mistake. Here is a huge bug I found in Simulation. (It's been fixed since on SPR#: 1065280). 1. Apply a force to a part in an assy. 2. Mesh it, but find it won't apply p-elements ('blended curvature based mesh' in SW) because you have to treat the sheet part as solid. 3. Change to solid. 4. Reapply force because 'it has dropped off'. 5. Mesh it, solve etc. 6. Result is rubbish. 7. Discover that the force did not drop off; it disappeared when the sheet to solid change was made because a menu changes and the force is still there but hidden in the earlier menu. Result reapplied force doubles the force without it being apparent. Two comments on this. i.) It's a pitiful and unforgiveable bug to have in a 'professional tool'. ii.) How did so many SW users not spot this? I have to conclude that few people with SW Simulation available to them actually trust it enough to throw real tasks at it. (I've met some). This is not the case with Creo Simulate. Ok, the bug has been fixed, but would you trust something that was that flawed as recently as 2018?

Varsity Tutors can enroll you in a comprehensive Oklahoma City SOLIDWORKS certification course to help you reach for your professional goals. SOLIDWORKS is 3D design software that offers an intuitive interface to optimize product development and engineering productivity. Earning one of the 20 different SOLIDWORKS certifications available allows you to demonstrate your proficiency with this program to prospective employers, potentially helping you get a job offer or negotiate a higher salary than you could otherwise. Of course, you need to pass one or more standardized exams before you can add a certification to your resume. If you would like some professional test prep assistance, continue reading to learn more about how we might be able to help you.
Many students also look for professional assistance in understanding the format of the test they're taking. Every SOLIDWORKS certification assessment has a different time limit and number of test items, so your instructor may administer sample questions to give you a feel for what to expect on exam day. You might even take entire practice exams under realistic test-taking conditions to help you gain firsthand experience managing the time available to you. If you find that you're unable to finish on time, your instructor can share time-saving strategies to help you pick up the pace a bit.
Varsity Tutors connects learners with a variety of experts and professionals. Tutors, instructors, experts, educators, and other professionals on the platform are independent contractors, who use their own styles, methods, and materials and create their own lesson plans based upon their experience, professional judgment, and the learners with whom they engage.
