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 Française 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 Française de NORmalisation, French Standardization Association) and written and compiled by the SFM (Société Française des Mécaniciens).
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 Française 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. That’s 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 model’s 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.

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.

Comments : (1) The calculated σxy | 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 "Roark’s Formulas for Stress & Strain" (6th ed. p.348) gives the following formula for a rectangular beam with a “2a × 2b” section (a ≥ b) : 2 3 4 3T ⎡ b ⎛b⎞ ⎛b⎞ ⎛b⎞ ⎤ Max τ = + + − + 1 0 . 6095 0 . 8865 1 . 8023 0 . 9100 ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎥ which gives the ⎢ 8ab ² ⎢⎣ a ⎝a⎠ ⎝a⎠ ⎝ a ⎠ ⎥⎦ reference value of 203.7 MPa. This value was used in place of the one prescribed by the validation guide which used one taken from an abacus (less accurate).

Comments : (1) 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.
