Solidworks Simulation and Analysis

Question 1

In SolidWorks Simulation, what is a 'Fixed Geometry' fixture used for?

Accepted Answer

Prevents selected faces, edges, or vertices from moving in any direction

Answer

Applies a load in a fixed direction to selected faces

Answer

Locks the mesh so it cannot be refined

Answer

Sets a specific displacement on a face

Question 2

What does a 'Von Mises stress' result in SolidWorks Simulation represent?

Accepted Answer

A combined stress scalar used to predict yielding in ductile materials

Answer

The maximum normal stress in one direction

Answer

The shear stress on the cross-section

Answer

The fatigue life under cyclic loading

Question 3

What is the purpose of meshing in SolidWorks Simulation?

Accepted Answer

Divides the geometry into small elements for finite element analysis calculations

Answer

Creates a decorative surface pattern on the part

Answer

Generates the wireframe display of the model

Answer

Defines contact conditions between assembly components

Question 4

In SolidWorks Simulation, which study type is used to determine the natural frequencies of a part?

Accepted Answer

Frequency Study

Answer

Static Study

Answer

Thermal Study

Answer

Fatigue Study

Question 5

What does 'Factor of Safety' indicate in a SolidWorks Simulation result?

Accepted Answer

The ratio of material yield strength to the maximum Von Mises stress

Answer

The ratio of applied load to the maximum possible load before failure

Answer

The percentage of the model that is under-stressed

Answer

The number of load cycles before fatigue failure

Question 6
