Description
Become a SOLIDWORKS Simulation Certified Associate Today!Course SummaryThis streamlined course will build you a strong foundation using the SOLIDWORKS simulation tools, even if you have never done any simulations before. These include how to set up your static simulation study and how to extract meaningful plots and results. It will enable you to evaluate your designs for a better design for the production cycle. In addition, it will equip you with all the practical skills needed for the official SOLIDWORKS Simulation Associate exam.What is in the Course?84 learning elements including:77 videos7 group simulation casesLearning ObjectivesBe familiar with the simulation workflow.Be able to conduct static simulation analysis for parts and assemblies.Be able to communicate simulation results clearly.Questions Frequently AskedWhat is the CSWA-Simulation Certification?CSWA stands for Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate. The simulation associate certification is SOLIDWORKS official proof that you are familiar with all the foundational simulation tools to conduct sound analysis. It also proves that you have a good grasp of the capabilities of SOLIDWORKS simulation and an understanding of the Finite Element Analysis theory.Why should I learn Simulation?Simulations enable organizations to virtually test their designs before going towards prototyping. It will enable you to optimize your design while you are still working on it virtually. This will enable you to optimize your design for safety and reliability before you even start prototyping. It will save lots of time and money. It also enables the designer to experiment with lots of designs and virtually test them, resulting in optimal end products and avoiding material waste.How does SOLIDWORKS simulation work?SOLIDWORKS simulation tool utilizes the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) theory/method to make all the related calculations in the background. This is a significant reason why being familiar with the FEA method can help understand what the software does in the background. In a nutshell, FEA works by breaking complex structures into smaller elements that can be analyzed one at a time.What is required to pass the CSWA-simulation certification exam?To pass the CSWA-simulation exam, you will need to be familiar with the foundational tools and features in the SOLIDWORKS static analysis package. This is in addition to being familiar with the software 3D modeling tools and basic knowledge of engineering principles, including statics, strength of materials, and finite element analysis theory.
