IntroductionSolidWorks Simulation Product LineWhile this course focuses on the introduction to the rigid body dynamics usingSolidWorks Motion Simulation, the full product line covers a wide range of analysis areasto consider. The paragraphs below lists the full offering of the SolidWorks Simulationpackages and modules.Static studies provide tools for the linear stress analysis ofparts and assemblies loaded by static loads. Typical questionsthat will be answered using this study type are:Will my part break under normal operating loads?Is the model over-designed?Can my design be modified to increase the safety factor?Buckling studies analyze performance of the thin partsloaded in compression. Typical questions that will be answered using this studytype are:The legs of my vessel are strong enough not to fail in yielding; but are theystrong enough not to collapse due to loss of stability?Can my design be modified to ensure stability of the thin components in myassembly?Frequency studies offer tools for the analysis of the naturalmodes and frequencies. This is essential in the design or manycomponents loaded in both static and dynamic ways. Typicalquestions that will be answered using this study type are:Will my part resonate under normal operating loads?Are the frequency characteristics of my components suitablefor the given application?Can my design be modified to improve the frequencycharacteristics?Thermal studies offer tools for the analysis of the heattransfer by means of conduction, convection, and radiation.Typical questions that will be answered using this study typeare:Will the temperature changes effect my model?How does my model operate in an environment withtemperature fluctuation?How long does it take for my model to cool down or overheat?Does temperature change cause my model to expand?Will the stresses caused by the temperature change cause product failure (static studies,coupled with thermal studies would be used to answer this question)?viSolidWorks Flow Simulation Student Guide

No details to the solutions for either this sample exam or the real test will be shared by the SOLIDWORKS Certification team. Please consult your SOLIDWORKS reseller, your local user group, or the on-line SOLIDWORKS forums at forum.solidworks.com to review any topics on the CSWP exam. A great resource is the SOLIDWORKS website (SOLIDWORKS.com).
saved, the documents are not accessible in earlier releases of the SolidWorks software. Converting Older SolidWorks Files to SolidWorks 2001 Because of changes to the SolidWorks files with the development of SolidWorks 2001, opening a SolidWorks document from an earlier release may take more time than you are used to experiencing.
IEE Colloquia: Electromagnetic Compatibility for Automotive Electronics 28 September 1999 6 Conclusions This paper has briefly described the automotive EMC test methods normally used for electronic modules. It has also compared the immunity & emissions test methods and shown that the techniques used may give different results when testing an identical module. It should also be noted that all .
