SOLIDWORKS SIMULATION ALLOWS NONEXPERTS TO
FULLY EVALUATE A DESIGN’S PERFORMANCE BEFORE EVER
BUILDING A PHYSICAL PROTOTYPE
SolidWorks ® Simulation helps you answer the fundamental question, “Do I have the right design?” Engineered specifically
for ease of use, the software will quickly become a standard, integrated part of your design process. From the outset,
you’ll be able to simulate real forces and actual product conditions as you design—and make any necessary modifications
right on the spot. As a result, you’ll significantly cut down on prototypes, development cycles, and testing costs.
SolidWorks Simulation ofers these key features:
Vibration, optimization, mechanism, and nonlinear dynamics simulation
Comprehensive material testing capabilities
Flow simulation to optimize designs for liquids and gases
The ability to simulate virtually any real-world condition or force
This is the story of what SolidWorks Simulation can do for you, as told through the eyes of three SolidWorks customers.

SOLIDWORKS SIMULATION ENABLES
PRODUCT DESIGNERS TO RUN
COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS
Devinci Cycles is the top producer of
mountain and road bikes in Canada. As an
industry leader in high-end cycles, their
design team was in search of ways to make
lighter, stronger frames.
strength-to-weight ratio of their cycles—as
well as ensured greater safety and avoided
costly warranty issues.
“We have deployed the SolidWorks virtual
bench test on road, mountain, and hybrid
bikes. Our product development process has
become faster and more eicient, and the
quality of our bikes continues to improve,”
Gauthier says.
R&D Department Head Bruno Gauthier
explains, “We needed to develop a
virtual testing capability—using inite
element analysis tools—to gain speed
and boost performance.” They gained
these capabilities with SolidWorks ® and
SolidWorks Simulation.
The company’s latest innovation—the BIXI
Public Bike System in Montréal—even won
Gold for Best Product/Energy Sustainability
in the prestigious 2009 Edison Best New
Products Awards.
Devinci Cycles’ designers now use
SolidWorks Simulation to run core analysis
on materials, assemblies, mechanisms,
forced vibrations, thermal conditions, and
drop tests before ever conducting physical
testing. By using SolidWorks Simulation
throughout the design process, they’ve
improved performance and optimized the
Decreased number of prototypes from three to one
Cut time-to-market from 18 to 10 months
Reduced frame weight by an average of 25%
Increased frame stifness by an average of 30%
Maximized time spent on concept development

SIMULATE REAL-WORLD CONDITIONS RIGHT ON YOUR SCREEN
SolidWorks Simulation allows nonexperts to recreate virtually any condition a product will face during its life cycle and identify ways
to make it stronger. You’ll be able to accurately predict how components will interact and fatigue over time, how repeating loads will
impact materials, and how a design will hold up in a drop test. Used as a standard part of your design process, these tools will help you
create products faster and more cost-eiciently than ever before.
