cosmosworks introductions tutorial-design analysis made simple

Cosmosworks is a useful software for design analysis in mechanical engineering. That’s an introduction for you who would like to learn more about COSMOSWorks. COSMOSWorks is a design analysis automation application fully integrated with SolidWorks. This software uses the Finite Element Method (FEM) to simulate the working conditions of your designs and predict their behavior. FEM requires the solution of large systems of equations. Powered by fast solvers, COSMOSWorks makes it possible for designers to quickly check the integrity of their designs and search for the optimum solution. A product development cycle typically includes the following steps: 1 Build your model in the SolidWorks CAD system. 2 Prototype the design. 3 Test the prototype in the field. 4 Evaluate the results of the field tests. 5 Modify the design based on the field test results. Analysis Steps : You complete a study by performing the following steps: • Create a study defining its analysis type and options. • If needed, define parameters of your study. Parameters could be a model dimension, a material property, a force value, or any other entity that you want to investigate its impact on the design. Analysis Background: Linear Static Analysis Frequency Analysis Linearized Buckling Analysis Thermal Analysis Optimization Studies, Material property, Material Models, Linear Elastic Isotropic. Plotting Results. Describes how to generate a result plot and result tools. Listing Results. Overview of the results that can be listed. Graphing Results. Shows you how to graph results. Results of Structural Studies. Lists results available from structural studies. Results of Thermal Studies. Lists results available from thermal studies. Reports. Explains the study report utility. Stress Check. Lists the basics of checking stress results and different criteria used in the checking.
