Publisher's Synopsis
This book - comes with a free complementary youtube-channel: https: //www.youtube.com/channel/UCMgZ_p8P9Nd8GXSePu39bbg - comes with free sample-files to analyse how the simulation can be performed. The models that are discussed in the 21 main videos (corresponding to the chapters) can be downloaded for free via this link: https: //grabcad.com/library/solidworks-simulation-educational-files-1 The zip-file in this link contains all SolidWorks models from all 21 chapters. -is aimed at mechanical engineering students who already have experience in calculating stresses analytically. -teaches students how to interpret stress-results in FEM-analyses. -teaches students the difference between solid, shell and beam-elements. -is written independent of FEM-software, therefore any FEM- software can be used in combination with this book. -contains guided tasks for students and can therefore be used in engineering-classes.
