What is the primary purpose of the "Simulation" tool in SolidWorks?

The primary purpose of the "Simulation" tool in SolidWorks is to analyze the performance of a model under various conditions. This capability allows engineers and designers to assess how a product will behave when subjected to different stresses, loads, temperatures, or other external factors before actually building a physical prototype. By simulating real-world conditions, users can identify potential issues, optimize designs for durability and performance, and ensure that the model meets necessary specifications and safety standards.

This analytical process helps in making informed decisions about design modifications and enhancements, ultimately saving time and resources during the product development cycle.
