CSWP Simulation & Design Validation Tools 3

Question 1

When running a SOLIDWORKS Simulation Thermal study, which result plot shows temperature distribution across the model?

Accepted Answer

Thermal plot

Answer

The Thermal plot displays temperature values at every node, showing how heat distributes through the model under applied thermal loads.

Question 2

In SOLIDWORKS SimulationXpress, which study type is available?

Accepted Answer

Static

Answer

SimulationXpress supports only linear static analysis, making it suitable for simple stress and displacement checks on single-body parts.

Question 3

What is the effect of applying a 'Symmetry' fixture in SOLIDWORKS Simulation?

Accepted Answer

It constrains a face to move only within its own plane

Answer

A Symmetry fixture constrains the nodes on the symmetry plane so they cannot move perpendicular to it, reflecting the behavior of the mirrored half.

Question 4

Which SOLIDWORKS Simulation result output reports the maximum displacement of any node in a static study?

Accepted Answer

URES (Resultant Displacement)

Answer

URES is the resultant displacement magnitude combining X, Y, and Z displacements, and its maximum value identifies the most deflected point.

Question 5

In SOLIDWORKS Simulation, what does a 'No Penetration' contact set prevent?

Accepted Answer

Overlapping/interpenetration of two touching surfaces under load

Answer

No Penetration contact allows components to separate but prevents them from passing through each other, modeling realistic physical contact.
