During these 45 minute webcast on demand, technical experts from both SolidWorks and National Instruments show how technology from both companies can be used to accelerate the mechanical design validation process.

Part 1: Integrating 3D Mechanical Design, Analysis with Physical Testing

Design, Analyze & Test are the basic building blocks of any product development cycle and leveraging them together leads to much faster design iterations. The integration between SolidWorks design models, COSMOSWorks analysis models and National Instruments LabVIEW virtual instrumentation for test data acquisition and NI INSIGHT for CAD based visualization of test, simulation & video results provide a closed loop feedback mechanism for the design engineer to leverage real world measurements as part of the design cycle. During this 45-minute Webcast on Demand, technical experts from SolidWorks and National Instruments demonstrate, using a practical example of validating the design of a model airplane wing, the ability to do integrated design and analysis and then comparing the results side-by-side with prototype test results in a common 3D visualization environment to pinpoint trouble spots and correct them before production.

Part 2: An In-Depth Look at Calibrating 3D Mechanical Design, Analysis with Physical Test Using Multiple Case Studies

The fidelity of simulation models can be improved significantly by calibrating it with real world measurements from physical test. This 45-minute Webcast on Demand shows how to accomplish this in-depth using a series of structural, thermal, fluid & motion case studies. The integration of SolidWorks and COSMOSWorks with LabVIEW and NI INSIGHT will be showcased. This is a follow up session to the earlier, highly popular, Webcast "Integrating 3D Mechanical Design, Analysis with Physical Testing."
