SolidWorks Simulation 2026 Black Book

The SolidWorks Simulation 2026 Black Book, is 13th edition of the book written to help professionals as well as students in performing various tedious jobs of Finite Element Analysis. The book follows a step-by-step methodology. This book explains the background work running behind your simulation analysis screen. The book covers almost all the information required by a learner to master the SolidWorks Simulation. The book starts with basics of FEA, goes through all the simulation tools, and ends up with practical examples of analysis. Chapters on manual FEA ensure the firm understanding of FEA concepts through SolidWorks Simulation. The book contains our special sections named "Why?" and notes. We have given reasons for selecting most of the options in analysis under the "Why?" sections. The book explains the Solver selection, iteration methods like Newton-Raphson method and integration techniques used by SolidWorks Simulation for functioning. A chapter on Topology Study helps you understand the procedures of modifying component based on analysis results. New tips and notes have been added in this book for various analyses. Some of the salient features of this book are:

In-Depth explanation of concepts

Every new topic of this book starts with the explanation of the basic concepts. In this way, the user becomes capable of relating the things with real world.

Topics Covered

Every chapter starts with a list of topics being covered in that chapter. In this way, the user can easily find the topic of his/her interest easily.

Instruction through illustration

The instructions to perform any action are provided by maximum number of illustrations so that the user can perform the actions discussed in the book easily and effectively. There are about 760 illustrations that make the learning process effective.

Tutorial point of view

The book explains the concepts through the tutorial to make the understanding of users firm and long lasting. Each chapter of the book has tutorials that are real world projects.

"Why?"

The book explains the reasons for selecting options or setting a parameter in tutorials explained in the book. 

Project

Projects and exercises are provided to students for practicing.
