The simulation that mechanical design engineers come into contact with mainly refers to CAE (Computer Aided Engineering), which uses computer-aided solution methods to analyze the structural mechanical properties of complex projects and products and optimize structural performance. Simulation software is just an analysis tool.
Different industries and different work scenarios will have different simulation solutions. You should choose different software tools according to your analysis purpose.
There are many simulation software on the market, the better and most common one is Simulink, as well as ANSYS, AMSIM, Solidworks, Proe, UG, etc.
MATLAB can provide an integrated environment for dynamic system modeling, simulation, and comprehensive analysis. In this environment, there is no need to write a large number of programs, but only through simple and intuitive mouse operations, complex systems can be constructed.
Simulink has the advantages of wide adaptability, clear structure and process, fine simulation, close to reality, high efficiency, and flexibility. Based on the above advantages, Simulink has been widely used in complex simulation and design of control theory and digital signal processing.
ANSYS, this software is a large-scale general-purpose finite element analysis software integrating structure, fluid, electric field, magnetic field, and sound field analysis.
Developed by American ANSYS, one of the largest finite element analysis software companies in the world, it can interface with most CAD software to realize data sharing and exchange, such as Pro/Engineer, NASTRAN, Alogor, I-DEAS, AutoCAD, etc. It is a modern One of the advanced CAE tools in product design.
AMSIM is mainly used for hydraulic simulation.
Solidworks, Proe, and UG also have a little simulation, but after all, they are not professional and not so comprehensive.
To sum up, novices can choose a simulation software with the largest number of users in this application direction and the most easily available information to get started according to their actual work needs. After proficiency, expand the unique solvers of other software, and carry out joint simulations between different software, to further improve the accuracy of simulation analysis.
