| COSMOSWorks Designer 2006 |  | COSMOSWorks Designer 2006 Quick Start video series will get you up and running on this excellent product. It covers linear elastic, static stress, displacement and strain analysis on parts and assemblies. Forty-one short videos provide information and demonstrations at both introductory and intermediate levels. Start with the Introductory Unit to learn terms about static analysis, what happens under the hood, linear and non-linear materials and running the interface. Learn types of structures that are good candidates for the program; the new Analysis Adviser, Connectors and Contact are demonstrated. Learn about solid elements, shell elements, and meshing sheet metal parts along with the new “Mixed Meshing” functionality. There are "best practice" topics including preparing models for optimal computer resource use; Spot Weld feature; Bolt and Pin Connectors to get shear, axial and bending loads; accuracy assessment with new H-Method, creating parametric studies for 'batch run'; see how the Design Check Wizard can help you determine safety factors and safety distribution; a “Results Evaluation” checklist is discussed, and much more. | |
| | SolidWorks designers, engineers and other users who desire introductory and intermediate video and audio instruction on COSMOSWorks. | | Some basic engineering mechanics of materials and structures background is useful, but not necessary (OK, just remember stress equals force per unit area and you'll do fine). Users should be comfortable with SolidWorks at the Part, multi body part and Assembly document level (2D Drawing document proficiency not required). |
