Description

Adams aids engineers in analyzing the dynamics of moving components and the distribution of loads and forces across mechanical systems. Often, product manufacturers face challenges in grasping the actual performance of their systems until later stages of the design process. While mechanical, electrical, and other subsystems undergo validation in line with their specific requirements during the systems engineering phase, comprehensive testing and validation of the entire system occur too late, resulting in costly and risky rework and design modifications. As the leading and most utilized Multibody Dynamics (MBD) software globally, Adams enhances engineering productivity and lowers product development expenses by facilitating early validation of system-level designs. This allows engineers to assess and manage intricate interactions among various disciplines, such as motion, structures, actuation, and controls, ultimately leading to optimized product designs that prioritize performance, safety, and user comfort. By addressing potential issues earlier in the process, Adams empowers engineers to create more reliable and efficient products.

Description

Subjecting your designs to real-world scenarios can significantly enhance product quality while simultaneously minimizing the costs associated with prototyping and physical testing. The SOLIDWORKS® Simulation suite offers a user-friendly collection of structural analysis tools that employ Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to forecast how a product will behave in actual physical conditions by virtually evaluating CAD models. This comprehensive portfolio is equipped with capabilities for both linear and non-linear static and dynamic analyses. With SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional, you can refine your designs by assessing mechanical resistance, durability, topology, natural frequencies, as well as examining heat transfer and potential buckling issues. Additionally, it facilitates sequential multi-physics simulations to enhance design accuracy. On the other hand, SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium allows for an in-depth assessment of designs concerning nonlinear and dynamic responses, dynamic loading conditions, and composite materials. This advanced tier also features three specialized studies: Non-Linear Static, Non-Linear Dynamic, and Linear Dynamics, ensuring a thorough evaluation of your engineering projects. By leveraging these powerful tools, engineers can achieve greater design confidence and innovation.
