Learn techniques to simulate large assemblies effectively - starting with SOLIDWORKS CAD tips for simplifying large assemblies and complex models down to reasonable complexity for analysis, followed by shortcuts and productivity tools to speed up the SOLIDWORKS Simulation Study setup process and reduce solve times.
This presentation also covers many of the updates for Simulation 2021 including the terminology change from Contact to Interactions, Blended Curvature Based mesh and solver enhancements.
Presented by Ryan Navarro for the Design To Manufacturing event, Originally titled " From Assembly to Analysis - Testing Big and Complex CAD models "
