What is Solidworks Simulation?

/in /by

Solidworks Simulation is an extremely advanced analytical tool that is used by designers, engineers and analysts alike.

It includes:

– Structural Simulation

– Computational Fluid Dynamics

– Electromagnetics Simulation

– Plastics Injection Moulding Simulation

Structural Simulation

The Structural Simulation section can be used to find and analyse structural capabilities and weak points within a design using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). This information can then be used to make necessary improvements on the initial design.

Further to this, Solidworks provides cloud-enabled capabilities powered by Abaqus.

 

Computational Fluid Dynamics

Fluid Dynamics allows for the user to perform fluid flow and heat transfer simulations. This means that aspects such as a products aerodynamics can be analysed without the need for a wind tunnel for example. This massively reduces the cost for these types of tests and allows for quick and easy changes to the design should the analysis show it’s required.

 

Electromagnetics Simulation

This area of simulation can help minimise the electromagnetic compatibility risks and the level of exposure the electromagnetic fields have on the human body in order to ensure that the device passes the required legal certification tests.

It also helps to reduce the time-to-market through the optimisation of antennas, microwave components and mechanical devices.

Plus, it uses the most powerful methods such as the unique finite integration technique (FIT), the classical finite element method (FEM) and the transmission line matrix method (TLM), even for hybrid simulations.

 

Plastics Injection Moulding Simulation

Plastics Injection Moulding Simulations can virtually assess the manufacturability and quality of injection moulded part designs and tooling. This means that it can predict and avoid manufacturing defects which help save costly reworks, decrease time-to-market and improve the overall part quality.

On-Site Services

/in /by

At IDS we offer our services on-site in the UK should you need to expand your team in order to complete a project. We are flexible with our terms and because we only use our own designers, our rates are cheaper than regular agency firms.

Alternatively we can visit a site to gather information on what’s required and work remotely here at our office at an even cheaper rate.

3D Scanning

/in /by

One of the services we offer is reverse engineering through 3D Scanning. This is the process of using lasers to scan existing products in order to work out the exact dimensions of their complex geometry which can then be used to create a 3D CAD model of the product.

This can be incredibly useful because this CAD model can then be used to create manufacturing drawings or renders as just a couple examples.

Alternatively, 3D Scanning can also be used to scan buildings in order to create AutoCAD drawings or a virtual walk through.
