SOLIDWORKS Simulation
current study. In the event that the software cannot establish a link between the active
model and the results file in the designated results folder, a warning message lists the
reasons of failure.
Renaming a model file or a simulation study after saving the results can invalidate the
link to the results file. The software cannot reconstruct the link between the new file
and the results saved in the original file <model name-study name.cwr>.
Repair Corrupt Studies
The software identifies simulation studies with corrupt data, and issues a warning to
delete the corrupted studies before saving the model.
When the software detects a simulation study with corrupt data, it flags the study tab
with an error icon. When you save a model that has corrupt studies, the software issues
a warning to delete the corrupt studies before proceeding.
Simulation Evaluator
Simulation Evaluator checks a study's setup to determine if the setup is optimal for a
successful simulation.
To run the Simulation Evaluator, do one of the following:
• In the Simulation CommandManager, click Simulation Evaluator .
• In a Simulation study tree, right-click the top study icon, and click Simulation
Evaluator .
Simulation Evaluator checks conditions related to the results folder, storage capacity
of the results drive, materials used in the simulation, and the mesh volume. If conditions
in the study prevent a successful simulation run, the Simulation Evaluator dialog box
provides information for corrective actions.
In the Simulation Evaluator dialog box, click Save to save the content of the dialog box
in a .txt document.
Simulation Performance Improvements
Performance improvements are implemented for linear static studies with multiple load
cases and studies with contacts set to incompatible bonding.
Linear Static Studies with Multiple Load Cases
You see performance benefits while solving a simulation for linear static studies with
multiple load cases defined with remote loads. The force and moment components of
remote loads support the optimized solver performance. Translation, rotation, and mass
components of remote loads remain unchanged for all load cases.
