An engineer needs to know how to keep their solution times ACCURATE and FAST to solve challenging problems. Accuracy of analysis is essential; without it, why analyze anything at all? This video will cover the process of mesh convergence in SOLIDWORKS Simulation, which is the process of ensuring that your mesh is fine enough to significantly decouple the result from being dependent on the mesh size. If you understand stress and strain and have a basic knowledge of finite element analysis, this two-part video series is for you!
In part 1, the basics of meshing in SOLIDWORKS are covered. Applying mesh controls, running two refinements of the mesh, and pointing out peculiarities and visuals you can look for to ensure mesh quality in your analysis are all part of the video.
In part 2 found here:
https://youtu.be/GH4hE5GbtyI, additional meshes, a tabled comparison of stress values vs. refining mesh sizes, and a discussion of the percentage change in the maximum stress resulting from mesh refinements are all discussed. The importance of these protocols is also included because when mesh size is small, meshing and solution times increase.
