Problem
SimulationXpress is a simple static solver included with all SolidWorks licenses, with some limitations. The main takeaway is that SimulationXpress supports the analysis of a single, solid body. It does not support assemblies, multibody parts, or surface bodies. This article goes over the different types of Learning Resources available for SimulationXpress.
To activate SimulationXpress, follow the steps in this article: Activating SOLIDWORKS Xpress Products – Hawk Ridge Systems
Solution 1: Within SOLIDWORKS
- Open SOLIDWORKS
-
Go to Help > Tutorials (question mark icon)
