Here is some additional information on what you gain with your SOLIDWORKS online account. This doesn’t require an active subscription service contract and gets you a ton of great information like webinars, forums, example CAD models and training. If you don’t have an account, it is really easy to create one. You’ll sign in using your SOLIDWORKS online account to activate the tool. If you have never used this tool before, it will open up a window asking you to follow the link to to get a Product Code to complete the activation process. You will see other Xpress tools that I highly recommend checking out to get the most out of your CAD tool. First, open a single body part file, then you can navigate to Tools>Xpress Products and select SimulationXpress. All you need to do is activate the SimulationXpress tool and you will be on your way. Getting started is really simple and takes less than a minute.
Getting Started With the SimulationXpress Tool
It is a great way to do a comparative analysis to see if the strength of your design has improved or not and iterate toward a better design. This tool is great for a first pass on your single body part to check the strength of your design. For you SOLIDWORKS Standard and Professional users, did you know that all levels of SOLIDWORKS CAD (Standard, Professional and Premium) have basic analysis capabilities? Yes, trust me, they do! You gain access to running a structural simulation study, with a few limitations (check out this blog " Is SimulationXpress Enough?"), through the SimulationXpress tool. If you have access to SOLIDWORKS Premium, you may already know that you gain full capabilities to run a linear static analysis by turning on the Simulation add-in.
During the design phase, changes are easiest to implement and cheapest to make so iterate now using built-in simulation tools. Now I would like to make sure you are using your CAD tool to its full potential and that means testing your design for strength before making a prototype. If you are having any issues, check out our blogs " Working Remote? Use SOLIDWORKS Effectively With These Tips," and " Work From Home During COVID-19 With SOLIDWORKS Temporary Licenses." With most of us working from home, hopefully everyone is settling in and successfully accessing their SOLIDWORKS tools just like you normally would if working from the office.
