Are you looking to load simulation results in SolidWorks? Look no further!
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process step by step. So, let’s get started!
Step 1: Open SolidWorks
First, launch SolidWorks by double-clicking on the desktop icon or searching for it in your applications folder. Once SolidWorks is open, create a new or open an existing part or assembly file.
Step 2: Access the Simulation Results
To load simulation results in SolidWorks, you need to have a completed simulation study. If you haven’t performed a simulation yet, go to the “Simulation” tab and set up your study using the appropriate analysis type and boundary conditions.
Note: This tutorial assumes that you have already performed a simulation study and have the necessary results files.
Step 3: Navigate to the Simulation Results Tab
In order to load simulation results in SolidWorks, you need to access the “Simulation Results” tab. You can find this tab at the bottom of your screen by clicking on it.
Step 4: Load Simulation Results
Option 1:
- In the “Simulation Results” tab, click on the “Open” button located in the toolbar.
- Navigate to the location where your simulation results files are saved.
- Select the desired result file (e.g., “.sldprt” for parts or “.sldasm” for assemblies) and click “Open”.
Option 2:
- In your part or assembly window, right-click on the “Results” folder in the FeatureManager Design Tree.
- From the context menu, select “Load Results”.
Step 5: View Simulation Results
Once you have loaded the simulation results, you can view them in various formats such as displacement plots, stress contour plots, or deformation animations. SolidWorks provides a variety of visualization tools to help you analyze and interpret your simulation data.
Congratulations!
You have successfully loaded simulation results in SolidWorks. Now you can analyze and interpret your results to make informed design decisions. Remember to save your work regularly to ensure that your progress is not lost.
