SDC Publications: Engineering Analysis with SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2023 Book Errata

Chapter 2 Page 51

Figure 2-15 shows the three different mesh sizes, but they incorrectly show curvature-based mesh parameters when they should be set to standard mesh parameters. Please use the corrected image below.

Chapter 7 Page 161

The first line should say: Use a Blended curvature-based mesh.

Chapter 8 Page 171

The first paragraph contains the sentence:
"Do not select any face of the MICROCHIP."

It should say:
"Select all faces of the MICROCHIP except the one touching the RADIATOR."

Chapter 15 Page 288

The caption for Figure 15-2 incorrectly indicates that the shell thickness of spokes is 2mm. The text in the figure correctly indicates it is 8mm. The caption should read:

Figure 15-2: Defining shell thickness of spokes: 8mm.

Chapter 20 Page 417

The text just under figure 20-20 should say: Define fixed restraints to the four patches on the bottom face.

Chapter 22 Page 530

Figure 22-38 in the book shows the results of the simulation. The result presented in the book was obtained without symmetry boundary conditions that should have been there. Please see the updated figure below for the correct result.
