Work Smarter, not
Harder -- It’s the driving
principle behind SolidWorks 2010, the latest version of the
most widely used 3D CAD software on earth. SolidWorks 2010
blends an unrivaled combination of ease, simplicity, and
power for the sole purpose of helping your next product be
better than your last.

Event Based Motion Simulation
Create motion simulations based on events and actions
rather than just time. Actions can now be
triggered by the completion of a previous task, or the
activation of a motion sensor, as well as time.
The new servo motor allows drives to be created with
real input control methods. |

Design Studies - Optimization
Design scenarios and optimization are not contained
within a common tabular interface. Optimization
goals are defined by model or simulation parameters and
limited by sensors so that any new design will meet your
design goals without violating simulation or model
limits. The new slider interface allows the user
to see intermediate model variations to test for design
robustness. |

Non Linear Simulation
Non Linear simulation has been enhanced for 2010.
Beam elements are supported for both static and dynamic
no linear problems. With improvements to contact
analysis and the capability to set bodies as fixed and
rigid, Simulation in 2010 can solve more of your most
challenging structural and contact problems. |

Fatigue Check Plot
Most components fail due to repeated rather than a
single load application. The new fatigue check
plot within a static study can quickly alert users to
the possibility of a fatigue failure. With the
simple setup users can quickly determine if a full
fatigue analysis is required.

New Fatigue Workflow
With this release the fatigue simulation process has
been streamlined. It is now even simpler to set up
and evaluate possible fatigue problems in your designs.
The SN curve now resides within the fatigue study
allowing for rapid evaluation of material, in service
loading cases and manufacturing processes. |

Edge Weld Connector
Welding is a common
method of joining parts together. The new edge
weld connector allows the user to simulate the effects
of setting the welding electrode, weld strength and
estimated weld size. The connector results are a
simple pass fail plot with a suggested new weld size, as
well as the ability to plot the stress along the length
of the weld.
