Analysis of Machine Elements using SolidWorks Simulation 2010 is written primarily for
first-time SolidWorks Simulation 2010 users who wish to understand finite element analysis
capabilities applicable to stress analysis of mechanical elements. The focus of examples is
on problems commonly found in an introductory, undergraduate, Design of Machine Elements or
similarly named courses.

In order to be compatible with most machine design textbooks, this text begins with problems
that can be solved with a basic understanding of mechanics of materials. Problem types
quickly migrate to include states of stress found in more specialized situations common
to a design of mechanical elements course. Paralleling this progression of problem types,
each chapter introduces new software concepts and capabilities.

Many examples are accompanied by problem solutions based on use of classical equations for
stress determination. Unlike many step-by-step user guides that only list a succession of
steps, which if followed correctly lead to successful solution of a problem, this text attempts
to provide insight into why each step is performed.

This approach amplifies two fundamental tents of this text. The first is that a better
understanding of course topics related to stress determination is realized when classical
methods and finite element solutions are considered together. The second tenet is that finite
element solutions should always be verified by checking, whether by classical stress equations
or experimentation.

Each chapter begins with a list of Learning Objectives related to specific capabilities of
the SolidWorks Simulation program introduced in that chapter. Most software capabilities are
repeated in subsequent examples so that users gain familiarity with their purpose and are
capable of using them in future problems. All end-of-chapter problems are accompanied by
evaluation check sheets to facilitate grading assignments.
