In a multi-user environment, saving locally can make it difficult for collaboration which is why PDM is great solution. So ensure that plenty of space is available on the hard drive, otherwise you may get errors while running indicating it was unable to save results. For best performance, BOTH the SOLIDWORKS files and Simulation results should be saved locally.īe aware that intermediate temporary result files (while the Simulation studies are solving) can be many times larger in size than the final results (.CWR file). So even if the Simulation results are saved locally but the SOLIDWORKS model files are saved on the network, you will still see delays when opening the models and switching between Simulation plots. Saving results locally is always preferred.Īlso the SOLIDWORKS model is closely linked to the Simulation results. This can really add up if your studies take a couple hours to solve. I’ve seen scenarios where saving results over a network is was not just a little slower, but more like 10x slower. Saving directly over a network can significantly slow down the solve times and also potentially cause corruption if there is any slight hiccup in the network connection while running (even if it doesn’t show a connection loss). SOLIDWORKS Simulation Results Options Issues with Saving over a NetworkĬhoosing where to save your Simulation results is very important. Otherwise the Simulation result files will be mixed in with your model files and gets a bit messy. I prefer to call it something like ‘FEA Results.’ This helps to keep the results separate. This means the Simulation results will save to the same location as the SOLIDWORKS model file, but generate a new sub folder of your choice. The SOLIDWORKS Document Folder option includes another checkbox for ‘Under sub folder’.

Microsoft Windows can potentially have issues with a single folder that is extremely large in size. If you have many studies saving results to the same location, this folder would become very large in size. This would default to save results of ALL new studies in a single folder. Under the ‘Result folder’ section, I would recommend avoiding the ‘User defined’ option. Simulation OptionsĪfter enabling the SOLIDWORKS Simulation add-in and opening a file, you can open Simulation > Options > Default Options tab > Results.

In this post I’ll explain how to save the results, the options available to you, and the best practice when you use SOLIDWORKS PDM. The SOLIDWORKS Simulation Results Save Location can be specified in the simulation options.
