Functional Value

Empowers design engineers to confidently validate product performance early in the design process. Through a guided simulation workflow, users can quickly assess structural behavior using Linear Static, Frequency, Buckling, Thermal, Harmonic, and Modal analyses without needing deep simulation expertise. The role supports efficient modeling of assemblies through automatic mechanical contact detection and an intuitive interaction workflow. Advanced meshing technologies enable accurate solid, shell, and beam idealizations to balance solution fidelity and computational efficiency. Users can conduct parametric single-objective design studies with full CAD associativity. 

User Experience Value

Users can solve simulation studies locally or on the cloud, and post-process results in either environment to extract key performance metrics. Integrated access to the SOLIDWORKS Learner library ensures users continuously build simulation skills, making Simulation Designer the ideal entry point to performance-driven design.
