About this ebook

 Engineering Analysis with SolidWorks Simulation 2012 goes beyond the standard software manual. Its unique approach concurrently introduces you to the SolidWorks Simulation 2012 software and the fundamentals of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) through hands-on exercises. A number of projects are presented using commonly used parts to illustrate the analysis features of SolidWorks Simulation. Each chapter is designed to build on the skills, experiences and understanding gained from the previous chapters.

Topics covered:

  • Linear static analysis of parts and assemblies
  • Contact stress analysis
  • Frequency (modal) analysis
  • Buckling analysis
  • Thermal analysis
  • Drop test analysis
  • Nonlinear analysis
  • Dynamic analysis
  • Random vibration analysis
  • h and p adaptive solution methods
  • Modeling techniques
  • Implementation of FEA in the design process
  • Management of FEA projects
  • FEA terminology

I finally got work to update to SolidWorks Premium so I can test assemblies. The assembly I am trying to test continues to go only so far and then stay there for hours. I looked through the sample pages and the detail that is shown is well done. So I bought the book and though I still like the way each subject is approached and how much detail is given. I am a bit disappointed with the coverage of assemblies. Other than very basic assemblies to show the use of a couple basic contact sets no assemblies are shown using glue bonding and contact surfaces. I was hoping for more information about working with a larger scale assembly. Overall I do recommend this book for the beginner. Maybe if I read the book again I will see some things I missed the first time.
