Includes bibliographical references and index.

Finite element analysis methods -- Solidworks simulation overview -- Concepts of stress analysis -- Mesh control in solidworks simulation -- General solid stress analysis -- Plane stress analysis -- Rotational loads and accelerations -- Flat plate analysis -- Shell analysis -- Space truss and space frame analysis -- Vibration analysis -- Buckling analysis -- Concepts of thermal analysis -- Thermal stress analysis -- Related analogies.

"This book outlines the basic theory, with a minimum of mathematics, and how its phases are structured within a typical software. The importance of estimating a solution, or verifying the results, by other means is emphasized and illustrated. The book also demonstrates the common processes for utilizing the typical graphical icon interfaces in commercial codes. In particular, the book uses and covers the widely utilized SolidWorks solid modeling and simulation system to demonstrate applications in heat transfer, stress analysis, vibrations, buckling, and other fields. The book, with its detailed applications, will appeal to upper-level undergraduates as well as engineers new to industry."--Publisher's website.
