FEA in Solidworks
FEA in Solidworks
(OP)
When I was in school, I took an FEA course for Pro/E because SW was not offered. They taught me all of the calculations that Pro/E was running, how to tweek the mesh etc.
So I have very little of that experience in SW.
Quick questions:
When I do FEA(Static) on a Weldment part, does it just simplify the calculations to Eulers buckling, and beam analysis? Because my mesh looks like just a bunch of rods.
Is there any way to look at a convergence plot for each test I run?
Better question:
Is there a good book/course(online) offered for SW FEA?

It may not be the most exciting way to learn, but I think it's fairly well written and illustrated. Works will when you have a specific question (as most people use a help file) but it works equally well when you just wanna mowsy a little and read, works real well on a mobile device on the couch with a cup of coco.
What? I liked doing that! :p
