SolidWorks Simulation Software for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) & Design Validation
How do you validate your designs?
| Build - Break - Rebuild? |
Overbuild? |
| Hand Calculations? |
Don't Know? |
| Outsource Validation? |
Nothing? |
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or Virtual Design Validation will save you money and produce Return on Investment the first time you use it! Reduce Material Costs by testing for safety with less material or alternate materials. Reduce Physical Prototyping Costs by proving and improving your design before it is produced. Lower your Recalls and Warrenty Costs by finding design flaws before they go into production. Be first to market with a safer, better, proven design ahead of your competition!
SolidWorks Simulation Software
With the powerful design validation tools in SolidWorks®, you can easily subject your designs to the same conditions that they’ll experience in the real world. Raise the quality of your products while you reduce costs for live prototypes and testing.
Simulation Premium Capabilities
One of the most comprehensive, yet sophisticated Finite Element Analysis (FEA) packages available, SolidWorks® Simulation Premium integrates completely with SolidWorks CAD software.
With SolidWorks® Simulation Professional, you can accurately simulate real-world operating conditions – reducing the time and costs associated with building and testing prototypes.
SolidWorks® Flow Simulation is the first and easiest fluid-flow simulation and thermal analysis program fully embedded within SolidWorks software.

- Cutting time to market
- Improving quality product
- Improving productivity
- Reducing the use of prototypes
- Driving Innovation
- Helping your engineers & designers become even better engineers & designers
Why SolidWorks Simulation?
Simulation is Designed for ALL SolidWorks users
Easy to Learn and Easy to use - Intuitive and easy to use novice users. A formal Finite Element Analysis certification is not needed.
The learning curve is shorter, as there is no need to learn another GUI. It works in the same manner as SolidWorks software.
SolidWorkd Simulation provides simplified analysis - results are easy for a designer to understand.
Integrated within SolidWorks
SolidWorks Simulation speaks the language of a designer with innovative features like the analysis advisor, smart connectors (bolts, springs etc), and the analysis library.
Faster turnaround of changes – ‘What-if?’ questions leads to best design
There is no rework, such as exporting/importing CAD data, applying material properties, or setting up a new analysis every time
Single Source Solution
No hassle in dealing with multiple vendors.
Alignex Application Engineers are trained and certified in SolidWorks Simulation products and provide a local, high level of service quality.
Pre- and post-sales (professional training and support) are handled locally by Alignex for customer convenience.
By the numbers, SolidWorks Simulation gets results. Companies that have implemented SolidWorks Simulation report the following:
17% reduction in field failures, 9% reduction in recalls, 15% decrease in ECOs, 25% reduction in time spent processing each ECO
99% customers report increase in productivity, 25% reduction in number of prototypes needed, 18% reduction in physical tests
51% customers report they learned SolidWorks Simulation in 5 days or less and 92% report they learned SolidWorks Simulation in 30 days or less
The Cost of SolidWorks Simulation Software far outweighs the Cost of Doing Nothing!

SolidWorks Motion Simulation
Motion simulation provides complete, quantitative information about the kinematics - including position, velocity, and acceleration, and the dynamics - including joint reactions, inertial forces, and power requirements, of all the components of a moving mechanism.
Understanding Motion Simulation
What is motion simulation? What problems can it solve? How can it benefit the product design process? This paper addresses some of these issues and looks at sample problems that motion simulation can solve. It also presents real-life applications of motion simulation used as a CAE design tool.
