Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of meshing in design analysis?

  • To estimate global element size based on material properties
  • To split the geometry into small finite elements (correct)
  • To generate 3D tetrahedral solid elements
  • To apply restraints and loads to the model

    • In SolidWorks Simulation, what factor does the automatic mesher use to generate a mesh?

  • Material properties and contact specifications
  • Global element size, tolerance, and local mesh control specifications (correct)
  • Component volume and surface area
  • Known restraints and loads

    • What type of elements does SolidWorks Simulation generate after meshing?

  • 1D cylindrical solid elements, 3D hexahedral elements
  • 3D tetrahedral solid elements, 2D triangular shell elements, or 1D beam elements (correct)
  • 4D complex solid elements and triangular beam elements
  • 2D rectangular solid elements and circular shell elements
