The solidworks simulation automatic convergence tools are powerful and intuitive tools that allow users to streamline their project and have more control over mesh areas. Hi victor, it is difficult to provide a general answer to your question, but in my experience when the convergence plot shows as figure 2 slope having large change between solution steps, or a subsequent step displays a decreasing value it could mean the location of maximum stress where we are performing the inements is changing location on the model, or we are attempting to converge. A read is counted each time someone views a publication summary such as the title, abstract, and list of authors, clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the fulltext. How to perform a mesh convergence study simulation. Over the next few weeks, well be discussing all things solidworks simulation.
Printing and converting batches of solidworks documents are some of the most popular. Today, the north america solidworks simulation experts will discuss accuracy and convergence. The vertical axis is normalized to unity if multiple graphs are selected. The window close button in the upper right corner dismisses the dialog box. Therefore, in this instance, the rootmeansquare value of the norms, as defined below, is used to plot the reduction in error. Thermal analysis with solidworks simulation 2012 sdc publications.

How to perform a mesh convergence study this process is partially automated for cadbased, automeshed models and only for the static stress with linear material models analysis type. This type of plot can be found in the stress plot property. The number of refinements required for the solution to. Solidworks 2016 sp05 to disable web help from within solidworks and use local help instead, click help use solidworks web help. It shows us the convergence of the stress at a certain location, based on the element size. The standard mesh has been used from the beginning of solidworks simulation.
The number of refinements required for the solution to converge, if convergence is achieved, or the number of solution steps requested for the required refinements. The convergence graph propertymanager sets the components to be plotted after a successful run of a static study using the padaptive method you can select any number of options.
