The 3DEXPERIENCE SIMULIA 2023x: Linear Structural Validation guide covers the fundamentals of the Linear Structural Validation (LSV) app. It provides you with the knowledge to effectively use 3DEXPERIENCE 2023x for structural finite element analysis and simulation, thereby reducing design time. This is an extensive hands-on guide, which enables you to apply your knowledge through real-world scenarios and examples.

Topics Covered

• Introduction to 3DX simulation
• Basic structural simulation
• Loads and boundary conditions
• Mesh refinement
• Assembly analysis
• Fasteners
• Frequency analysis
• Buckling analysis
• Thermal Analysis

Prerequisites

• Access to the 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA 2023x version of the software, to ensure compatibility with this guide. Future software updates that are released by Dassault Systèmes may include changes that are not reflected in this guide. The practices and files included with this guide might not be compatible with prior versions (e.g., 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA 2022x).
• Completion of the 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA 2022x: Introduction to Modeling course or equivalent CATIA experience is recommended. Any knowledge of FEA is beneficial but is not a mandatory requirement.
