What version of SOLIDWORKS do I need to run SOLIDWORKS Simulation?

All tiers of SOLIDWORKS Simulation can be used with all tiers of SOLIDWORKS CAD. Because
SOLIDWORKS Simulation is an add-in for SOLIDWORKS CAD, Simulation will function as whichever version of SOLIDWORKS CAD is utilized. Example: If you are running SOLIDWORKS 2019, then SOLIDWORKS Simulation will also have to be 2019.
