Description:
Solid Works is an advanced engineering 3D modelling tool, giving the user unprecedented possibilities. Detailed drawings, assembly drawings, outline drawings and more can be produced from the model.
The main advantages of the program include:

– Virtual prototyping of the product – the modelled part, component or the whole machine behaves like a real object in the SolidWorks environment. Therefore, we can subject them to strength, thermal and flow analyses.
–Possibility of converting existing 2D files to 3D.

ANSYS – offers a very large range of analyses, from statics to electromagnetic fields through time-varying phenomena and the possibility to simulate linear phenomena and very sophisticated non-linearities.
The programme has all the tools needed to set up the problem, solve it and verify the results without the need for additional external software.
It is an excellent and complete tool for all strength and thermal analyses.
It provides a full set of linear and non-linear elements and material models ranging from metals to rubber.
