Simulation Software
Simulation software allows you to virtually test products to evaluate performance, improve quality and drive innovation. Establish real-world scenarios and analyse your products prior to manufacture for a wide range of parameters such as durability, static and dynamic response, motion of assembly, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and plastic injection.
SOLIDWORKS Simulation Products
SOLIDWORKS Simulation
SOLIDWORKS Simulation provides engineers with integrated FEA(finite element analysis) tools to test and analyse designs virtually before physical prototypes are built, helping to reduce cost and cut development time.
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation uses computational fluid dynamic(CFD) studies to quickly and effectively simulate fluid flow, heat transfer and fluid forces. Evaluate your products and find issues and potential improvements that physical testing would struggle to reveal.
SOLIDWORKS Plastics
SOLIDWORKS Plastics simulation software combines injection moulding simulation with advanced CAE analysis to give plastics designers the capability of predicting just how melted plastic flows during the injection moulding process to predict and prevent manufacturing defects at the earliest stages of the design cycle.
SOLIDWORKS Motion
SOLIDWORKS Motion helps engineers evaluate how products will perform and move throughout their operational cycle. Visualise products moving as it would in the real world, measure the forces and loads on your design and identify any potential interferences.

Customer Testimonial - A.J. Hargreaves
Before purchasing SOLIDWORKS Simulation our design process was much different. The only way to guarantee the safety factors and reliability needed would be to over-engineer the conversions.
We would usually make things a lot bigger than they needed to be. Weight is our friend because we need to keep the machines that are working on the railways stable so they don’t derail. It wasn’t a bad thing having the weight, but it meant our designs cost more.
SOLIDWORKS Simulation is now used in almost every project at A.J. Hargreaves, with development time now cut from 3 months to just 6 weeks.
