3DEXPERIENCE Example: Structural Analysis of a Bracket
This example guides you through using 3DEXPERIENCE platform to define and run a simulation that evaluates the structural integrity of a bracket.
In this example, you learn how to:
Save a SOLIDWORKS geometry or import a 3DEXPERIENCE native geometry to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform
Define a structural simulation
Apply simulation features (for example, boundary conditions and loads) and materials
Run a simulation
Analyze simulation results to qualify a design
Refine a mesh and remesh a part to identify regions with stress singularities
Bookmark and share simulation results with your team
This example is available in the documentation so that you can work through it at your own pace:
