SOLIDWORKS Simulation offers tools that can help you test your designs and determine how to best enhance the quality of your products. In order to perform effective stress analysis, designers need to know not only the SOLIDWORKS Simulation user interface, but also the methodology and application of finite element analysis (FEA) in general. This course introduces how to set up a model for FEA analysis, run the analysis, and interpret the results to optimize your SOLIDWORKS models. Upon completing this course, you'll have the knowledge you need to carry out FEA with confidence.

SOLIDWORKS: Advanced Simulation

https://www.lynda.com/SOLIDWORKS-tutorials/SOLIDWORKS-Advanced-Simulation/667364-2.html

Before parts can be manufactured, SOLIDWORKS designers need to perform advanced stress analysis using simulations. This process is called finite element analysis or FEA. Join instructor Tony Abbey in this course, as he teaches this vital skill using the rich simulation features in SOLIDWORKS Premium 2018. Learn how to break up and mesh models, set loads and boundary conditions, and fix and re-mesh geometry. Explore the 3-2-1 and plane strain methods for measuring stress and displacement. After optimizing each design, Tony runs an analysis and compares the before and after results so you can see how the stress is reduced.

Data-driven applications have their application flow governed by the data, and the serverless framework can serve as the web framework to create this kind of application. In this course, join instructor Marcia Villalba as she takes you through an overview of serverless applications and Kinesis. Learn how to design an event-driven application, how to integrate AWS Lambda and Kinesis streams, and how to set up necessary permissions.
