Calculation work
Calculation work
(OP)
Hi Folks
When working in SolidWorks does anyone run into the need to do complex math such as Stress,Fluid Flow,or other Engineering calculations?
Do the results of those equations result in changes to the solid model?
If so how do you do it now?
Is it easy to tie in an Excel Spreadsheet for example?
Does SolidWorks have a Math Modeling tool available that is linked directly?
Lastly is there a 1D/2D/3D tollerance package available that is linked to Solidworks?
