SolidWorks Simulation Premium Capabilities

SolidWorks® Simulation Premium brings highly-advanced finite element analysis (FEA) functions to designers and engineers at a fraction of high-end FEA software costs, and with none of the complexity.

It adds a final level of sophistication to the capabilities found in SolidWorks Premium and Simulation Professional. You can perform sophisticated design validation tasks such as:

Studying design performance for excessive deflections and stresses under dynamic loads
Performing nonlinear analysis—including impact—on plastics, rubbers, polymers, and foam
Conducting contact analysis coupled with nonlinear materials
Evaluating the behavior of composite materials

Key capabilities include:

	Nonlinear Dynamics: It's easy to test and validate your designs with advanced capabilities including nonlinear displacement analysis and analysis of nonlinear materials, as well as dynamic response analysis of parts and assemblies.
	Simulate Plastic Parts: You can capture all the behavior of your plastic parts without special training or add-ins. You can also simulate your plastic components in all possible tests and environments, and optimize parts for volume and cost.
	Simulate Forced Vibrations: Predict and control vibrations or dynamic responses in your products with a choice of integrated design studies, including Transient study, Harmonic Response study, and Random Response study.
