This guide describes the key design performance issues facing machine designers and manufacturers, and identifies the benefits of using SOLIDWORKS analysis software in the product development cycle. SOLIDWORKS software can be applied to almost any machine design field, from automation tooling to wrapping machines, to analyze a broad range of concerns. Its powerful analysis types—static, motion, thermal, vibration, fluid-flow, and nonlinear—will ensure that your product meets design requirements and is reliable in the field.
