Contact Analysis of an O-Ring

This example guides you through saving SOLIDWORKS geometry to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and creating a simulation using 3DEXPERIENCE simulation apps.

You will learn how to:

• Transfer a SOLIDWORKS assembly to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
• Map SOLIDWORKS simulation features to 3DEXPERIENCE simulation features.
• Apply common simulation features, such as restraints, materials, and mesh assignments.
• Create and run a simulation.
• View the results of a simulation.

Prerequisites
