Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Engineering Analysis with SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2025 goes beyond the standard software manual. Its unique approach concurrently introduces you to the SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2025 software and the fundamentals of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) through hands-on exercises. A number of projects are presented using commonly used parts to illustrate the analysis features of SOLIDWORKS Simulation. Each chapter is designed to build on the skills, experiences and understanding gained from the previous chapters.

Companion Video Tutorials

This book includes access to videos that are designed to help you get started using SOLIDWORKS Simulation. These videos also provide guided, step-by-step instruction for exercises that may be particularly challenging, especially for those new to SOLIDWORKS Simulation. Following selected exercises in the book, these videos serve as a visual companion to the written instructions, reinforcing key concepts and helping you gain confidence in applying simulation techniques. You’ll find the most support in the opening chapters, covering foundational topics and tools in SOLIDWORKS Simulation, with additional support for advanced exercises that tackle more complex areas.

With both written and visual instruction, you can learn at your own pace and revisit challenging concepts whenever needed. This dual approach bridges the gap between reading and doing, supporting a deeper understanding of simulation processes and building practical skills that benefit users in academic, professional, and personal projects alike.
