Engineering Analysis with SolidWorks Simulation 2009

Engineering Analysis with SolidWorks Simulation 2009 goes beyond the standard software manual because its unique approach concurrently introduces you to the SolidWorks Simulation 2009 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.

This book covers the following FEA functionality of SolidWorks Simulation 2009:

• Linear static analysis of parts and assemblies
• Frequency (modal) analysis
• Buckling analysis
• Thermal analysis
• Drop test analysis
• Optimization analysis
• Nonlinear analysis
• Dynamic analysis
