Simulation Validation Cases

WHITE PAPER
SUMMARY
The purpose of this report is

to present the accuracy of
results given by SolidWorks
simulation 2009 using the
Guide de validation des
progiciels de calcul de
structures (Structural
Analysis Software Validation
Guide) published by AFNOR
(Association Franaise de
NORmalisation, French
Standardization Association).
100 validation examples
(linear static analysis,
vibration, dynamic response,
thermal, nonlinear) from the
guide are analyzed.
Results given by
COSMOSWorks generally fall
within 1% of the ideal
solution.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to present the accuracy of

results given by SolidWorks Simulation 2009 using the
Guide de validation des progiciels de calcul de structures

(Structural Analysis Software Validation Guide).
This guide was published by AFNOR (Association
Franaise de NORmalisation, French Standardization
Association) and written and compiled by the SFM (Socit
Franaise des Mcaniciens).
This report compares results

given by SolidWorks
Simulation 2009 with 100
examples representative of
the Guide de validation des
progiciels de calcul de
structures published by
AFNOR (Association
Franaise de NORmalisation,
French Standardization
Association).
It is a compilation of 143 validation examples for Finite

Elements Analysis software. The validation examples
belong to a wide range of domains: linear static analysis,
vibration, dynamic response, thermal, nonlinear, fluid
mechanics.
Not all of them fit in the range of analysis capabilities of
SolidWorks Simulation. Thats the case of the validation
examples in fluid dynamics, for instance. Therefore, a set
of 100 examples were selected. They are presented in this
report using the evaluation form template provided in the
guide. In addition to the form, screen captures of the
model and results have been added when useful for a
better understanding. However, information about each
models geometry, material properties, loads and
boundary conditions have not been copied into this report.
To obtain all the above information, the reader should
refer to the guide itself.
While modeling each problem in SolidWorks Simulation,
the intent has been to meticulously follow the modeling
guidelines recommended for each example. When not
possible, an equivalent approach was used. For instance,
when it was not possible to perform a study with the
recommended element type, and equivalent study was set
up with another element type.
As you will see in this report, results given by SolidWorks
Simulation generally fall within 1% of the reference
solution.

Comments :
The formulas of the analytical solution are solely applicable when the length and width of
the sheet are large enough compared to the diameter of the hole. The stresses away from the
hole should not be affected by its presence. With the given dimensions, the ratio between the
diameter and the width is equal to 0.2 which is not enough. For the formulas to be
applicable, the plate should be at least 4 times larger (ratio equal to 0.05). The values in the
table above are given for such a modified geometry.

The calculated xy | max stress is the value found on the lines of the long sides when far
enough from the extremities in order to avoid the singularities. The "Roarks Formulas
for Stress & Strain" (6th ed. p.348) gives the following formula for a rectangular beam
with a 2a 2b section (a b) :

The values in the above table are the average of the calculated values on the vertical
edge (thickness) going through Point C because a concentrated force creates a singularity.
The test is clearly a success : it shows plainly the growing deviation between a calculated
displacement with a thin PLATE type analytical solution and the displacement
calculated with the SolidWorks Simulation 3D model when the slenderness ratio
decreases.
