Learn how to handle thin-walled and frame-like structures in SOLIDWORKS FEA simulations using shell and beam element modeling.
Much of CAD design uses 3D elements for finite element analysis (FEA) simulation. However, sometimes thin-walled or frame-like structures dominate. In these cases, shell (2D) and beam (1D) elements can represent designs more effectively. Across all industries, as much as 50% of the design of major engineering projects fall...
