Engineering Analysis with SolidWorks Simulation 2013

I recommend NASTRAN & PATRAN or more industry accepted software applications but if you have Solidworks Simulation this book is a good start. It is very rudimentary but I have not gotten further than chapter 17 thus far. The examples are simple, easy to follow, but have allowed me to already start incorporating Solidworks Simulation design into household projects. If you have Solidworks this book is a good start to get you off the ground I'd say, but if you are going for skill in the professional industry for FEA I recommend moving to NASTRAN & PATRAN as previously stated.

Exercises are simple. This a barebones introduction to Solidworks Simulation. Expect errors and a whole lot of assumptions. Not in-depth at all. This is best for a complete beginner.

This book is okay, very tutorial styled.

Great for beginners learning Finite Element Analysis. I used this in a design class but kept the books for future use. Used in conjunction with SolidWorks 2013 Tutorial with Video Instruction

Not enough depth to help a user become profiecent with Solidworks FEA. Just a teaser overview of what the FEA can do.

Great purchase experience! Item was exactly what I was expecting.

Great read

awesome! thanks

its is okay but the paper quality isnt great and a DVD in the book is always preferable to downloads
