To Linear or to Non-Linear: Which analysis type is suitable for you?

When it comes to graduating from a Linear analysis to a Non-Linear analysis, the 3 deciding factors that decide that an analysis is a Non-Linear analysis is:

1. Material Non-Linearities

A. Materials with nonlinear material properties, such as alloys, elastomers, rubbers,  plastics etc.

B. Parts designed to yield and flow in the plasticity region (where the user must use a model capable of simulating elastoplasticity.

2. Geometric Non-Linearities

A. Contact area may change with loading conditions

B. Large or permanent deformations

C. Stiffness of the structure decreases due to local buckling

3. Boundary Non-Linearities

This class of non-linear behaviour is a result of the changing nature of the boundary conditions (kinematic/force) of the structures involved in the analysis during motion:

A. Contact Problems

B. Pounding of Structures

C. Fitting Problems

D. Gear-tooth contacts

SOLIDWORKS Visualise – The Future of High-Quality Rendering

      

To all SOLIDWORKS users – you are going to be happy about this. SOLIDWORKS 2016 introduces a new rendering engine called SOLIDWORKS Visualise.

Here is something you need to know about this new rendering engine:

• Formerly known as Bunkspeed
• SOLIDWORKS Visualise is available with SOLIDWORKS Professional and SOLIDWORKS Premium, as long as the license is under subscription.
• SOLIDWORKS Visualise works as a standalone license – it is able to render on another computer while you work on SOLIDWORKS on your computer.

Photoview 360 in SOLIDWORKS 2016 – Now anybody can provide high-quality graphics!

Photoview 360 has always been a great tool to have when it comes to providing marketing and sales material for a product designed on SOLIDWORKS. The importance of a rendering engine was that it enables a company to creating quality content on their products even before the final product was ready (instead of waiting till the end to take a photo of it). This enables a company to continue the selling process throughout the design stage. Continue Reading...

Thread Creation in SOLIDWORKS 2016 – It Just Got Easier!

Depending on the nature of your design work process, creating threads on a part may or may not be an important aspect of the design. If the screw thread is not to be evaluated mechanically, there is always an option to just place the appearance of a screw thread which is easy to do and keeps the size of the file small.

Prevent Destruction with SOLIDWORKS Simulation

Why is BUCKLING Analysis important?

When it comes to failure analysis we are all quite aware about stresses and strains. In fact it is always the first thing we check. However, why is it that we neglect the other modes of failures, such as fatigue, buckling, and natural frequency?

In reality, these modes of failures are highly as likely to occur as much as material failure due to high stresses. In this article we will focus on Buckling, a failure mode so dangerous that we need to put more emphasis on it.
