- [Male Instructor] When you first get started
with SimulationXpress we're going to
have a few option we need to go through.
Let's go ahead up here to the Evaluate toolbar.
Click on that one there.
Come all the way over here to SimulationExpress
and go ahead and fire that up.
You can see here we've got a little welcome screen.
This little wizard pops up which is
going to ask us some questions.
The first thing I want to do is click on the options tab.
Here it is; click on options.
I want to choose what my unit system is.
Depending on where you are in the world
or how your brain thinks, I happen to think in English
so I'm going to go ahead and choose that one.
But it's up to you.
You have the option of where you'd like to save the results
or let SOLIDWORKS store them at.
I'm going to just go ahead
and choose the default location which is fine.
You can also have this thing show annotation of max
and min on the results plot.
I don't really like to do that.
But if you like to you're free to turn that on.
Once you have all that stuff set up
go ahead and click on OK.
Now we're ready to start SimulationExpress.
We're going to go ahead and click on next.
What that's going to do is start filling out this information
over here on the left.
You can see here's our study.
Here is our material.
Here are our fixtures and here are our loads.
Notice these are all blank.
It does have the material already selected
but you can always change that
while you're going through the process.
Make sure you do choose those options
right from the beginning.
Get set up the right way and take a look at your part
before we start adding fixtures and external loads,
and then getting ready to run our SimulationXpress study.
