Course Title: SolidWorks Simulation Premium

Duration: 4 Days
Prerequisite: SolidWorks Simulation Professional (knowledge of the basic principles in Vibrations is also strongly recommended but not required)

Description:
This 4-day class will teach basic and advanced topics in non-linear stress analysis. Learn how to deal with models that exhibit large displacements and/or yielding, discuss and practice the use of material models available in SolidWorks Simulation and, how to drive a non-linear analysis to successful completion. This course will also cover various advanced topics in Dynamics, including; time dependent analysis, harmonic analysis and random vibrations.

Details:
SolidWorks Simulation Premium covers the following topics:

• Nonlinearity in Structural analysis

• Solution Control techniques – force, displacement and arc-length control
• Convergence criteria
• Steady-state harmonic analysis
• Modal time history analysis
• Random vibration
• Damping models- Rayleigh, Modal, Composite
• Various types of excitation –uniform, non-uniform, harmonic, PSD curves
• Interpreting Solver Error messages
