SolidWorks simulationXpress exercises and tipsIt’s rare, but you just don’t get a highly optimized SolidWorks part by holding your breath and pushing really hard. That’s a chronic medical condition you should probably have tested. It’s time to brush up on that structural engineering and add some interpretive analysis to those fine SolidWorks parts.

SolidWorks in partnership with SOLIDProfessor has launched a site with free exercise, videos and tips for SolidWorks SimulationXpress, a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tool included with all version of SolidWorks.

Will this work for you?
You have the options of watching some demo videos to become better acquainted with all the juicy bits of analysis using SimulationXpress or download exercise files to apply loads and deform on your own. Here are some more details.
