Design
Validation Made Simple
The original design validation solution for SolidWorks is better than
ever! Fast, powerful, and accurate design analysis within the same
SolidWorks interface you already use every day...no wonder COSMOSWorks
is number one.
COSMOSWorks provides easy to
use yet powerful design validation and optimization tools for designers
and engineers alike. More than 14,000 companies in a wide array of
industries currently use COSMOS to improve design quality, avoid field
failures, reduce material costs and shorten time-to-market.
COSMOSWorks enables faster,
less costly, and more optimized product development, as well as more
in-depth examination of product performance than would ever be possible
using even the most detailed prototypes

Available in the following
packages, COSMOSWorks can be expanded as your analysis needs grow and
change:
- Designer - Go beyond hand calculations with
virtual simulation tools that are easy to learn and to use.
- Professional - A wide spectrum of powerful design
validation tools to help engineers who are familiar with
analysis concepts.
- Advanced Professional - Offers seasoned analysts
a tremendous range of analysis capabilities.

Affordable
Design Validation Software for Every Product Designer
Specifically tailored for designers and engineers who are not
specialists in design validation, COSMOSWorks Designer helps improve
product quality by indicating how SolidWorks models will behave before
they are built. Go beyond simple hand calculations by verifying your
intuitions and study the real-world performance of different design
alternatives without ever leaving the SolidWorks window.
Easy
to learn and use for immediate productivity
Fully embedded inside the
SolidWorks interface, COSMOSWorks Designer utilizes the SolidWorks
FeatureManager® and many of the same mouse and keyboard commands, so
anyone who can design a part in SolidWorks can analyze it without having
to learn a new interface. COSMOSWorks Designer contains the most
frequently used design validation tools, offering stress, strain, and
displacement analysis capabilities for both parts and assemblies at a
very affordable price.
With
COSMOSWorks Designer, you can:
- Compare alternative designs easily and quickly so you
can choose the optimal design for final production
- Study interaction between different assembly components
- Simulate real-world operating conditions
to see how your model handles stress, strain and
displacement
- Spend less time on specifics with automated tools that
simplify the validation process
- Interpret results with powerful and intuitive
visualization tools
- Collaborate and share results with everyone involved in
the product development process

COSMOSWorks™ Professional
Powerful
Design Validation Software for Most Product Designers and Engineers
COSMOSWorks Professional offers a wide spectrum of powerful tools to
help engineers who are familiar with design validation concepts to
perform virtual testing and analysis of parts and assemblies.
Engineers who need more
specific design analysis capabilities can use COSMOSWorks Professional
to predict the physical behavior of practically any part or assembly
under any loading condition.
Intelligent
tools so you can work smarter, not harder
In addition to the
design
validation capabilities included inside COSMOSWorks Designer,
COSMOSWorks Professional offers drop test, design optimization, thermal
heat transfer, thermal stress, vibration, buckling, and fatigue
analysis.
Regardless of industry
application, from aerospace to medical, COSMOSWorks provides significant
product quality benefits; enabling engineers to detect design problems
in less time than a prototype could be built.
With
COSMOSWorks Professional, you can:
- Perform drop test analysis
- Optimize your model to meet pre-specified design
criteria
- Determine if your design will fail due to buckling
or vibration
- Reduce the costs and time delays caused by
physical prototyping
- Identify potential design flaws and correct them
earlier in the design process
- Solve extensive thermal simulation problems
- Perform coupled thermal and structural
analysis
- Determine failure due to fatigue from cyclic loading on
your designs
