Re: 100 Days To Learn Solidworks

A little bit of a tangent...

FEA, especially the built-in SimulationXpress, is very dangerous to use unless you really know what you're doing. It's very easy to garbage-in/garbage-out without good experience and a comprehensive FEA package (which SimulationXpress is not). SolidworksSimulation would fair better, but it's REALLY easy to fake yourself out.
