SolidWorks Premium - Dynamics
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.
Length: 2 days.
Topics Covered
Analyses Covered
- Modal time history analysis

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
