How do you activate a simulation in SOLIDWORKS?

You can begin activation by hovering your cursor over the SOLIDWORKS logo at the top left of the screen. Then select Help > Licenses > Activate.

Can you run SOLIDWORKS Simulation on an assembly?

How to Use Solidworks Static Simulation in an Assembly. Solidworks Simulation uses FEA (Finite Element Analysis) methods to identify the behavior of parts or assemblies/parts when a load is applied.

What is a Solidworks CWR file?

For SolidWorks Simulation Files, the results are contained in one file with the extension CWR. Other information like study properties, materials, restraints, loads, and contact conditions are saved, in the SolidWorks part or assembly document. Many files are created by the solver during an analysis.

How do I export simulation results in Solidworks?

Once you have run your SOLIDWORKS Simulation study and created all necessary plots, exporting the results is fairly easy. To do this, right-click on the Results folder of the study and select Save All Plots as JPEG Files. This will go through and save all the plots individually in their own JPEG files.

How do I enable advanced simulation in SOLIDWORKS?

In the SOLIDWORKS, click Tools > Add-Ins and in the Add-in dialog box, select SOLIDWORKS Simulation. On SOLIDWORKS Simulation (CommandManager), click the Down arrow to display a list of licenses on your server that can support Simulation.

Does SOLIDWORKS professional have simulation?

SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional enables you to optimize your design, determine product mechanical resistance, product durability, topology, natural frequencies, and test heat transfer and buckling instabilities. It can also perform sequential multi-physics simulations.

What is SOLIDWORKS flow simulation?

SOLIDWORKS® Flow Simulation is an intuitive Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solution embedded within SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD that enables you to quickly and easily simulate liquid and gas flows through and around your designs to calculate product performance and capabilities.

How do I install an addon in Solidworks?
