COSMOSWORKS DESIGNER Prerequisites: Knowledge of SolidWorks and basic mechanical engineering concepts is recommended. Description: This course is designed to make SolidWorks users more productive more quickly with the COSMOSWorks Designer Bundle. It offers a comprehensive hands-on training on the applications of COSMOSWorks. The class discusses linear stress analysis, gap/contact analysis, and best practices. Analysis features are discussed using an integrated approach of the COSMOSWorks software from within the SolidWorks environment. Finally, examples of parts and assemblies including those with various gap/contact conditions are reviewed.
