In this tutorial, we'll learn basic static simulation in SOLIDWORKS 2020. First of all, we'll model the cantilever beam in SOLIDWORKS and then we'll do simulation. Don't forget to add simulation add-in before making static simulation study. The simulation contains the following steps: 1) Define your Study (Static) 2) Assigning your Materials 3) Apply Boundary Conditions (Free Body Diagram) 4) Meshing the Model 5) Run the Analysis (Solve) 6) View the Results After completing the first simulation, I have added second simulation by adding force parallel to the plane, here fixture is same. You can find how deformations, stresses, strains have changed. Lastly I have one added last simulation, by changing both fixture and force, and here you will find maximum displacement on the corners (red colors) and minimum displacement on the fixed side (blue). Color contours are given where you can see the values along with different colors. It is a good exercise for beginners and it will be a good practice for beginner

I had used Simulation for Assembly (Double Girder Overhead traveling crane). For contact we just defined the global component set of contacts. At start there were unwanted results. But after changing the geometry the result were as we wanted. :) In case of dynamic we defined initial condition of velocity (.5m/sec) for crab and the load curve (Sine) for 15sec. :P It took 3 hours and the CWR file was about 5.5GB. :P We have the result for displacement, but when we clicked stress, the solidworks got out of memory and crashed. :P
