SimulationXpress Analysis Wizard

Runs stress analysis on your
I SOLIDWORKS model.

Notice the warning icons in the SimulationXpress study. These icons

indicate the results obtained earlier are no longer valid because the geometry was

changed (Fillet radius) and now the mesh no longer represents the model's

geometry. Also, by changing the material, the deformation of the model under the

specified loads will be different.

To update the analysis results, right-mouse-click at the top of the analysis

tree and select "Run" from the pop-up menu to update the results.

SimulationXpress will re-mesh the model to account for the geometric changes

and run the analysis with the updated geometry and material properties.
