In Detail
Engineering Analysis with SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2025 goes beyond the standard software manual. Its unique approach concurrently introduces you to the SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2025 software and the fundamentals of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) through hands-on exercises. A number of projects are presented using commonly used parts to illustrate the analysis features of SOLIDWORKS Simulation. Each chapter is designed to build on the skills, experiences and understanding gained from the previous chapters.
Companion Video Tutorials
This book includes access to videos that are designed to help you get started using SOLIDWORKS Simulation. These videos also provide guided, step-by-step instruction for exercises that may be particularly challenging, especially for those new to SOLIDWORKS Simulation. Following selected exercises in the book, these videos serve as a visual companion to the written instructions, reinforcing key concepts and helping you gain confidence in applying simulation techniques. You’ll find the most support in the opening chapters, covering foundational topics and tools in SOLIDWORKS Simulation, with additional support for advanced exercises that tackle more complex areas.
With both written and visual instruction, you can learn at your own pace and revisit challenging concepts whenever needed. This dual approach bridges the gap between reading and doing, supporting a deeper understanding of simulation processes and building practical skills that benefit users in academic, professional, and personal projects alike.
