COSMOSWorks Designer makes it easy to go beyond simple hand calculations by verifying your intuitions while studying the real-world performance of different design alternatives without ever leaving the SolidWorks window.

More companies trust COSMOS than any other mainstream analysis program. More than 12,000 companies in a wide array of industries currently use COSMOS to improve design quality, avoid eld failures, reduce material costs, and shorten time-to-market. For designers and engineers who need to improve product quality, COSMOSWorks Designer contains the most commonly used analysis capabilities. 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. The power and insight of virtual design analysis. COSMOSWorks Designer 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. Most common analysis features at an uncommonly low price. 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: Go beyond simple hand calculations with virtual simulation tools that are easy to learn and use Study assemblies and interaction between different components Explore validation results using visualization tools such as dynamic sectioning and probing at any location Study various design alternatives under different real-world conditions and select the best one Quickly verify your intuitions and reduce physical testing

Design verication has become widely adopted in the design process because of cost benets, quality improvements, ease of use, product safety benets, and because it allows designers to be more creative with their designs without sacricing design quality.

Because COSMOSWorks Designer is embedded in SolidWorks, designers can enter material properties during the initial modeling stage, thus saving time during the verication stage.
