Publisher's Synopsis
The SolidWorks Simulation 2020 Black Book, is 7th edition of our book written to help professionals as well as students 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?" and notes. 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 Topology Study in this edition helps you understand the procedures of modifying component based on analysis results. New tips and notes have been added in this book for various analyses. Some of the salient features of this book are:
In-Depth explanation of concepts
Every new topic of this book starts with the explanation of the basic concepts. In this way, the user becomes capable of relating the things with real world.
