CERTIFICATIONS

The Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional Simulation Specialist exam is designed to test an individual’s complete understanding of Simulation tools inside SOLIDWORKS. Candidates who successfully pass this certification exam have demonstrated the ability to set up, run, and examine the results of various types of Simulation scenarios. They also have demonstrated the ability to interpret the various results available to them in SOLIDWORKS Simulation.

Exam Prerequisites:
To qualify to take the CSWP - FEAs Exam, a candidate must have:

• SOLIDWORKS Simulation Linear Static course
• SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional course

The Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional Surfacing Specialist exam is meant to be the most challenging exam we offer, so therefore no sample exam is provided.  If the exam is not successfully passed, you will have to wait 90 days to retake the exam.

Minimum Passing grade: 75%
All candidates receive electronic certificates, business card logos and personal listing on CSWP directory* when they pass.

Exam features 3 categories of questions

• Multiple choice questions about general topics in simulation and FEA, and SOLIDWORKS Simulation
• Manual calculations of loads and stresses in simple cases
• Several hands-on challenges in many areas of SOLIDWORKS Simulation

Exam may feature hands-on challenges in some of these areas:

• Static, Frequency, and Thermal studies
• Working with Solid and Shell elements
• Working with Beams (Definition of beams and trusses, Beam loads, Beam results )
• Applying loads and restraints
• Planes of symmetry
• Non uniform loads
• Mesh controls
• Use of configurations to compare designs
• Convergence of results
• Result forces
