Run SIMULIA Simulation Inside SOLIDWORKS | Materials, Contacts, and Hex Meshing

SIMULIA simulation can be run directly inside SOLIDWORKS without leaving the CAD environment. This video shows how to launch, manage, and update simulation studies using 3DEXPERIENCE integration. In this episode, we demonstrate how a SIMULIA Mechanical Scenario is created and accessed through the SOLIDWORKS task pane, allowing engineers to work within a familiar interface while using advanced Abaqus-based simulation tools. In this video, you will learn: • How to run SIMULIA simulation inside SOLIDWORKS • How 3DEXPERIENCE integrates with SOLIDWORKS workflows • How to update simulation studies after geometry changes • How advanced material models improve simulation accuracy • How general contact simplifies setup • Why hex meshing can improve results with fewer elements SIMULIA expands simulation capabilities beyond standard SOLIDWORKS Simulation, including advanced material modeling such as hyperelastic behavior and specialized materials. Built-in tools and workflows make these capabilities accessible without complex setup. The workflow also allows CAD-linked studies, so geometry updates can be refreshed without rebuilding simulations or transferring files between systems. Compared to traditional tetrahedral meshing, structured hex meshes can deliver more accurate results with fewer elements, improving efficiency for complex studies.
