How Do I Complete a Buckling Analysis in SOLIDWORKS Simulation?
Summary
The purpose of a linear bucking study in SOLIDWORKS SIMULATION Professional is to find the load factor at which a structure will lose its compressive stiffness and collapse, causing failure. Before a bucking study is created, it is recommended that we verify the results of a basic static structural load first. See below for a chart from the SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional training manual that clarifies what the ranges of buckling factors mean. I would exceed the yield strength of the material long before I reached this load, so I can assume buckling is of no concern for this design! I hope that this blog gave you insight into the workflow and capabilities of buckling analyses in SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional.
