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

Can SOLIDWORKS Simulation be used with any tier of SOLIDWORKS CAD?

Yes. All tiers of SOLIDWORKS Simulation are compatible with all tiers of SOLIDWORKS CAD, and Simulation must match the same version year as the installed SOLIDWORKS CAD.

How does version matching work for SOLIDWORKS Simulation?

Because
SOLIDWORKS Simulation is an add-in for SOLIDWORKS CAD, Simulation will function as whichever version of SOLIDWORKS CAD is used. For example, if you are running SOLIDWORKS 2024, then SOLIDWORKS Simulation will also have to be 2024.
