Introduction to Static Analysis Using SolidWorks Simulation

This book introduces the basic features of SolidWorks Simulation through practical solved examples. It provides a detailed description of all stages and program commands used during static analysis of a body. It offers a description of some common examples and techniques used to reduce the size of the model and to increase the accuracy of the calculations. It also discusses useful, yet hard-to-find information about applications of the program, such as calculations of welded or plastically deformed machine elements.
