Simulation lets you examine how your model will behave in the real world, reducing the need for costly prototype iterations. The Simulation product family helps you evaluate your model's structural characteristics and thermal profile and provides powerful tools for examining mechanism performance.

Use Simulation Help to learn about creating a simulation model that reflects the loads, materials, and boundary conditions you expect your model to undergo. Simulation Help shows you how to define and run a wide range of analyses and design studies, review results, and optimize your model to better meet specific design criteria.
