Overview of this book

SOLIDWORKS is a dominant computer-aided design (CAD) software for the 3D modeling, designing, and analysis of components. This book helps you get to grips with SOLIDWORKS Simulation, which is a remarkable and integral part of SOLIDWORKS predominantly deployed for advanced product performance assessment and virtual prototyping. With this book, you'll take a hands-on approach to learning SOLIDWORKS Simulation with the help of step-by-step guidelines on various aspects of the simulation workflow. You'll begin by learning about the requirements for effective simulation of parts and components, along with the idealization of physical components and their representation with finite element models. As you progress through the book, you'll find exercises at the end of each chapter, and you'll be able to download the geometry models used in all the chapters from GitHub. Finally, you’ll discover how to set up finite element simulations for the static analysis of components under various types of loads, and with different types of materials, from simple isotropic to composite, and different boundary conditions. By the end of this SOLIDWORKS 2022 book, you'll be able to conduct basic and advanced static analyses with SOLIDWORKS Simulation and have practical knowledge of how to best use the family of elements in the SOLIDWORKS Simulation library.

Plane analysis of axisymmetric bodies

The approach that was adopted in the previous case study involved a thin-walled pressure vessel, for which the use of shell elements is more suitable. However, there are a variety of axisymmetric problems that involve engineering components with substantial thickness. In such cases, the use of thin shell elements may not be the best choice. This section relates to one such case.

Problem statement – case study 2

Let's start with a bit of background for the case study. In power presses, automobile engines, and a wide variety of power generation/transmission systems, mechanical flywheels are used as part of the energy storage system to smoothen out power delivery [6]. Indeed, recently, the design of the flywheel has taken a central position with the recent shift in consciousness to the demand for renewable energy. In its most basic form, a flywheel unit consists of a shaft and a solid rotating disk acting as the rotor (see Figure...
