Static Simulation · Lesson 6: Simulation on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform

The Structural Designer role: linear static analyses of parts and assemblies from the platform.

Lesson goal

Run your static analyses with the Structural Designer role on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, from SOLIDWORKS or 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS.

1. Watch the videos

Dassault Systèmes videos hosted on MySolidWorks: they open in a new tab and a free account is enough. Watch them in order.

2. Key takeaways

1

The Structural Designer role provides linear static, frequency, buckling and steady-state thermal analysis on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

2

The workflow is the same as in SOLIDWORKS Simulation: material, fixtures, loads, mesh, results.

3

Studies are saved on the platform with the model: you share them with the team without exchanging files.

Tip

If you already use 3DEXPERIENCE for your data, this role saves you from installing a separate simulation module. Ask your Ohmycad engineer for a demo.

3. Do the exercise

With the Structural Designer role:

  • take the bracket from lesson 1
  • run the same static study
  • compare the results with SimulationXpress
✓To check: With the same conditions and a similar mesh, both tools give results of the same order of magnitude.
