Prerequisites :

Must have attended the basic SolidWorks Simulation class, or must have an experience with SolidWorks + working basic knowledge of finite elements and of basic mechanical principles. The knowledge of basic principles in Vibrations is strongly recommended, but not required. Who should attend : Designed for users who would like to become productive fast, the advanced course offers hands-on experience on the use of SolidWorks Simulation Dynamics modules. The one-day course provides an overview on a wide range of dynamic analysis topics.

• Topics Covered
• Analyses Covered Modal time history analysis Steady-state harmonic analysis Random vibration Damping Rayleigh damping, modal damping, composite damping Excitation
• Load vs. time data for nodal forces, pressure loads Uniform and nonuniform base excitations in the time or frequency domain for displacement, velocity and acceleration
• Harmonic excitation for nodal forces, pressure loads, uniform and nonuniform ground motions and varied phase angles
• Power spectral density (PSD) excitation curves for nodal forces, pressure loads, uniform and nonuniform ground motions
