SOLIDWORKS Simulation | What's New in SOLIDWORKS 2026

December 17, 2025 02:00 PM America/New_York

SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2026 delivers a powerful suite of enhancements that redefine engineering analysis with greater precision, flexibility, and efficiency.

Whether you're streamlining study setup, improving result accuracy, or uncovering deeper design insights, SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2026 empowers you to work smarter with intuitive tools and smarter workflows. From shell edge loading to enhanced feedback mechanisms, this release is packed with features that elevate your simulation capabilities. SOLIDWORKS Simulation is built for engineers who demand precision and speed. Whether you're working on complex assemblies or refining structural integrity, this release gives you the tools to push your designs further.

Join TriMech Elite Application Engineer, Joe McDonough, for a comprehensive walkthrough of the latest updates in SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2026. Joe will guide you through the most impactful changes, starting with the ability to apply remote loads directly to shell edges, a major win for engineers working with sheet metal and thin plate structures. He’ll also cover the new rotational displacement plots, default shell type settings, and dynamic pin connector force calculations to make your simulations more accurate and representative of real-world conditions.

In this SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2026 webinar, you will learn:

  • How to apply remote loads and masses to shell edges for more realistic simulations

  • Ways to leverage smarter setup feedback to reduce troubleshooting time

  • New rotational displacement plots for analyzing torsional forces

  • Distributed load options for beam elements and trusses
