One of the standout features in SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2025 is the enhanced component selection tool. This update allows users to easily select and exclude structural components from their analysis, saving significant time when working with large assemblies. This improvement ensures that only the necessary components are included in the simulation, leading to more efficient and focused analyses.
The accuracy of node-to-surface bonding interactions has been significantly improved. This enhancement ensures better enforcement of bonding interactions within user-defined gaps, leading to more precise results. This is particularly beneficial for simulations involving complex geometries where accurate bonding is crucial.
SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2025 introduces several improvements to the Edge Weld Connector. The software now calculates the estimated weld throat size when defining an edge weld connector, providing more accurate and detailed weld analysis. Additionally, the icons for weld orientation have been updated to reflect the correct edge weld type, enhancing usability and clarity.
A new addition to the connector types is the Orthotropic Spring connector. This allows users to define unique stiffness values in all orthogonal directions, as well as torsional and bending stiffness. This enhancement provides greater flexibility and accuracy in simulating spring connections, particularly in complex assemblies.
Mesh accuracy has been a focal point in this release. The new algorithm for surface-to-surface bonding now integrates geometry correction factors, improving the representation of curved surfaces. This results in reduced stress noise at the boundaries of bonded curved surfaces, leading to more accurate simulation results.
For assemblies with multiple identical parts, the total mesh time has been drastically reduced. The blended curvature-based mesher now reuses mid-side node positions across repeated components, significantly cutting down on meshing time. This improvement is particularly noticeable in large assemblies with many repeated parts.
SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2025 is packed with enhancements that improve both the accuracy and efficiency of simulations. From better component selection tools to advanced bonding and meshing techniques, these updates are designed to meet the evolving needs of engineers and designers. As you explore these new features, you’ll find that SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2025 not only simplifies your workflow but also enhances the precision of your analyses.
