SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium lets users simulate dynamic loading scenarios using efficient solution techniques. Users can access four linear dynamic solution techniques which include time history, harmonic, random vibration and response spectrum analysis. Setup for the models use the same intuitive tools used throughout the SOLIDWORKS Simulation Suite and allow users to quickly apply material data from a pre-installed and fully customised board library, specific component connections such as pins, springs and bonded connections and finally restrain the geometric model using various fixture types. For time history analyses users can apply loading based on time, meaning loading profiles such as impulse, deceleration and shock can all be analysed. Loading can be input using a tabular window or harmonic loading can be applied using a dedicated input window. Linear dynamic analyses first extract model-modal information in order to decouple the equations of motion and users can specify the number of frequencies as well as the time period studied. Results are presented at multiple time steps throughout the solution allowing users to animate the results of the model to understand structural behaviour. using the probe tool responses of individual points can be crafted to monitor key locations. Stresses can also be viewed and probed in this way to identify peak stresses across the time history. Linear dynamic analysis can also be performed in the frequency domain using harmonic, random vibration and response spectrum analysis. Harmonic study results allow users to quickly identify resonance of the model and animations can be created to show results across the frequency range. Probed results can be graphed to extract individual result values across the frequency range analysed and stress results can be probed and viewed in this way in order to identify peak stresses. Linear dynamic analysis in SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium lets users quickly identify structural response from time and frequency based loading and helps to improve designs and avoid potentially damaging resonance.
