SOLIDWORKS Simulation

Test, Validate, and Optimize Your Designs with Integrated Analysis Tools 

Unsure if your design will perform as expected?

Simulate real-world conditions, including stress, vibration, and heat, to validate performance. 

Struggling with costly design iterations?

Replace physical prototypes with virtual testing to save time and reduce costs. 

Need to ensure product durability and compliance?

Test for strength, safety, and compliance with industry standards. 

SOLIDWORKS Simulation

Standard

SOLIDWORKS Simulation Standard is an intuitive virtual testing environment for static linear, time-based motion, and high-cycle fatigue simulation. It delivers a concurrent engineering approach, helping you know if your product will perform properly and how long it will last—during the design phase.

SOLIDWORKS Simulation

Professional

SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional enables you to optimize your design, determine product mechanical resistance, product durability, topology, natural frequencies, and test heat transfer and buckling instabilities. It can also perform sequential multi-physics simulations.

SOLIDWORKS Simulation

Premium

SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium lets you efficiently evaluate your designs for nonlinear and dynamic response, dynamic loading, and composite materials. It includes three advanced studies: Non-Linear Static, Non-Linear Dynamic, and Linear Dynamics.
