Analysis & Design Validation

With a powerful suite of design validation tools you can 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.

Simulation Premium
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.

Simulation Professional
Go beyond core simulation and expand the virtual test environment to product durability and natural frequencies, heat transfer and buckling, and pressure analysis and complex loading.

Simulation
The core FEA 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.

Simulation Xpress
SolidWorks SimulationXpress is a first-pass basic stress analysis tool that comes with every SolidWorks Standard and Professional software package.

SolidWorks Flow Simulation
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 Sustainability
SolidWorks Sustainability simplifies sustainable design and allows designers and engineers to measure a products' environmental impact during its production, use and disposal. This not only helps you create more environmentally-friendly products, but also can help your company reduce overall product development costs.

SolidWorks Plastics
SolidWorks Plastics brings easy-to-use injection molding simulation directly to the designers of plastic parts and injection molds. It simulates how melted plastic flows during the injection molding process to predict manufacturing-related defects on parts and molds.
