SIMULATION & TESTING

CSWSP_FEA - Certified SolidWorks Professional Simulation
Professional Advanced Simulation

Looking to analyze your product beyond simplified paper calculations, or trying to figure out why it failed?  Perhaps you’re wanting to understand what kind of stresses are present given certain new scenarios.  Need a report to supplement stamping calculations?  Analysis and or Simulation Reports can be done on ‘linear elastic materials’ can include:

  • Linear Static Stress, Strain and Displacement of parts and or assemblies
  • Motion Analysis
  • Frequency Analysis
  • Design Optimization

CADGuru can customize the standardized “Report” included with the SolidWorks functionality, or we can do a more quickly summarized Word document approach with images to show-case results and set-up. (Printing to PDF is possible)

In other cases, Dez, CADGuru Owner, has been guided by P. Engineers in terms of the approach requested, specific material used, units specified, etc.

Dez, CADGuru Owner can also read Certification documents for a specific product line, and can outline a study and report accordingly for approval and review.

DRAFTING & DETAILING

Don’t have the time? Send it over and we can help you!

Don’t know how to model something? no prob! we can do, or teach you : )

AUTOMATION

If you’re tired of doing the same thing over and over, CADGuru can help you optimize your designs so that updated parameters can be entered and your design is updated and complete (including sales and production drawings) within a few minutes. No more hassling over the small details and doing monotone work. Typically CADGuru, Owner, Dez would first assess what tools you’re currently using, what best suits your scenario, and pick from one or some of the following to automatically update designs:

  • Global Variables and Equations
  • Excel Based Design Tables
  • Use pre-configured part, assembly and drawing templates
  • Link drawings to the ‘smart’ parts / assemblies so that once the model changes, the drawings updates too with all the views, BOM’s and detailing work already completed.
  • Sales, PDF, Excel or Text file to SolidWorks Model and Drawing Automations
