SOLIDWORKS Simulation Dynamics

Analyzing structures subjected to various types of dynamic loading

Training Course Contents

This course is targeted for the users who would like to become productive in analyzing structures subjected to various types of dynamic loading. The material covered includes the time dependent analysis(force loads as well as motion shock loading examples), harmonic analysis and random vibration analysis (MILS-STD-810F example is included).

Who should attend:

Designed for users who would like to become productive fast, the advanced course offers hands-on experience on the use of the SOLIDWORKS Simulation Dynamics module included with SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium.

This training course will help you to:

  • Understand the response of a structure over time during and after the application of a load.
  • Understand how dynamic loads such as people, wind, waves, traffic, earthquakes, or blasts can effect your design.
