Solidworks Simulation and Analysis 2

Question 1

In SolidWorks Simulation, what is a 'Thermal Study' used for?

Accepted Answer

Calculating temperature distribution and heat flow through a part

Answer

A Thermal Study computes steady-state or transient temperature distributions and heat flux through the model.

Question 2

What does 'Mesh Refinement' in SolidWorks Simulation do?

Accepted Answer

Increases the number of elements in specific areas to improve solution accuracy

Answer

Mesh Refinement adds smaller, more numerous elements to high-stress or curved areas to improve result accuracy.

Question 3

Which SolidWorks Simulation contact condition allows two surfaces to push against each other but not pull apart?

Accepted Answer

No Penetration

Answer

No Penetration contact allows components to press together and transmit compressive forces, but they can separate freely.

Question 4

What does the 'Displacement' result plot show in SolidWorks Simulation?

Accepted Answer

The amount each node in the mesh moves from its original position under load

Answer

The Displacement result displays how much each point of the model deflects in response to the applied loads and fixtures.

Question 5

In SolidWorks Simulation, which fixture type allows a face to move freely in one direction while fixing all others?

Accepted Answer

Roller/Slider

Answer

Roller/Slider allows a face to slide in one direction (perpendicular to the fixture) while preventing motion in other directions.
