Publisher's Synopsis
The SolidWorks Simulation 2017 Black Book, is written to help professionals as well as learners in performing various tedious jobs of Finite Element Analysis. The book follows a step by step methodology. This book explains the background work running behind your simulation analysis screen. The book covers almost all the information required by a learner to master the SolidWorks Simulation. The book starts with basics of FEA, goes through all the simulation tools and ends up with practical examples of analysis. Chapters on manual FEA ensure the firm understanding of FEA concepts through SolidWorks Simulation. The book contains our special sections named "Why?". We have given reasons for selecting every option in analysis under the "Why?" sections. The book explains the Solver selection, iteration methods like Newton-Raphson method and integration techniques used by SolidWorks Simulation for functioning. A chapter on Model Preparation is added in this edition to help you understand the procedures of preparing model for analysis.
