General queries in setting solidworks simulation

Hello All,

I have the following questions regarding solidworks simulation. It would be of great help if you could help me with these questions.

1. Is the non-linear dynamic analysis in solidworks explicit or implicit? Is there a way to do non linear analysis with explicit analysis in solidwroks?

2. Can a body be defined "as an analytical surface as in abaqus" in solidworks simulation?

3. if there are two parts, one requiring solid mesh and another requiring shell mesh. Can the two parts be joined into a single part by joining the nodes at the interface?

Thanks in advance

Regards,

sharath
