What is SOLIDWORKS
Simulation Professional?

Using the powerful virtual testing environment of SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional, product engineers can evaluate a products performance in a range of physical scenarios.

You can optimise products for weight, vibration, or instability based on a range of physical and geometrical parameters. With tight integration and a consistent user interface across SOLIDWORKS solutions, you can use the powerful capabilities of SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional early in the design process to maximize product quality and reduce costs.

Check out the full capabilities below.
