What is SOLIDWORKS Simulation?

Testing your designs in practical environments can greatly improve the quality of your products while also reducing the expenses related to prototyping and physical testing. The SOLIDWORKS® Simulation suite provides an intuitive array of structural analysis tools that utilize Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to predict how a product will perform under real-world conditions by virtually assessing CAD models. This extensive suite includes features for both linear and non-linear static and dynamic analyses, enabling comprehensive evaluations. With SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional, you can enhance your designs by examining aspects like mechanical strength, longevity, topology, natural frequencies, as well as investigating heat distribution and the risk of buckling. It also supports sequential multi-physics simulations to improve design precision. In contrast, SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium offers a more detailed examination of designs, focusing on nonlinear and dynamic responses, various loading scenarios, and composite materials. This advanced level includes three specialized studies: Non-Linear Static, Non-Linear Dynamic, and Linear Dynamics, which together provide a robust assessment of your engineering initiatives. By utilizing these sophisticated tools, engineers are empowered to foster greater design confidence and push the boundaries of innovation in their projects. Ultimately, the integration of such simulations leads to a more efficient design process and superior end products.

What is Braceworks?

The Braceworks® add-on for Vectorworks Spotlight provides a seamless solution for professionals in design, production, and rigging to evaluate the load-bearing capabilities of temporary structures. This groundbreaking module not only improves safety but also guarantees compliance with engineering regulations and standards, promoting a unified approach to modeling, analysis, and documentation all within one platform. As regulatory frameworks, such as the Eurocodes, become more stringent and demands from venues, municipalities, and property owners escalate, businesses engaged in event design, audiovisual installations, and rigging are increasingly required to generate detailed load and structural calculations for approval by structural engineers. Users are able to perform static and FEM analyses, with results clearly displayed on the model for easy understanding. Furthermore, it generates thorough calculation reports automatically, streamlining the documentation process and boosting efficiency in project execution. This indispensable tool is vital for those in the industry who strive to uphold exceptional standards of safety and compliance in their endeavors. In a rapidly evolving landscape, the ability to swiftly adjust to new requirements is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge.
