What is a fixture in Solidworks?

The Fixture PropertyManager allows you to prescribe zero or non-zero displacements on vertices, edges, or faces for use with static, frequency, buckling, dynamic and nonlinear studies. Contents.

What type of study does SimulationXpress perform?

SimulationXpress uses the same simulation technology that SOLIDWORKS Simulation uses to perform stress analysis. More advanced simulation capabilities are available within the SOLIDWORKS Simulation line of products.

How do you apply fixtures in Solidworks?

To apply fixtures:

  1. Click Add a fixture. The Fixture PropertyManager appears.
  2. In the graphics area, select faces to fix.
  3. Click . The fixture is added to the Fixtures folder in the SimulationXpress study tree and a check mark appears next to Fixtures in the SimulationXpress wizard.

Can you use SimulationXpress to analyze the motion of an assembly?

You can use SimulationXpress to analyze the motion of an assembly. Even if you`ve already defined a part`s material in SOLIDWORKS, you can specify a different material in SimulationXpress.

Is SimulationXpress free?

SOLIDWORKS SIMULATIONXPRESS: What It Is (and Isn’t) It’s a free functionality that’s included in your SOLIDWORKS Standard, Professional, or Premium software purchase.

How do you get the product code for SimulationXpress?

Under Tools–>Xpress Products, Select SimulationXpress. It will launch the “Enable SimulationXpress” window. After logging into MySOLIDWORKS.com/Xpress, enter the SOLIDWORKS serial number, version, and the Xpress product required for activation. Click “Get My Code”.

What is simulation Xpress in Solidworks?

SIMULATION XPRESS SOLIDWORKS SimulationXpress is a first-pass analysis tool that comes with every SOLIDWORKS Standard and Professional software packages, giving you the ability to do basic stress analysis on individual parts. Generate reports to document results.

What does the split line feature do?

tool projects an entity (sketch, solid, surface, face, plane, or surface spline) to surfaces, or curved or planar faces. It divides a selected face into multiple separate faces.

How do I load a SolidWorks simulation?

To display SOLIDWORKS Simulation results in the graphics area:

  1. Open an assembly that has a simulation study saved with it.
  2. Click the Static 1 tab.
  3. In the Simulation Study tree, right click Static 1 and click Run.
  4. Click the Model tab.
  5. Click Simulation Display (View toolbar) or View > Display > Simulation Display .

Which study types support pin connectors?

The pin connector is available for static, nonlinear, buckling, frequency, and dynamic studies.
