What is the purpose of using the Clipping tool in SOLIDWORKS Simulation?

The purpose of using the Clipping tool in SOLIDWORKS Simulation is to isolate and analyze specific sections of a model. This tool allows users to cut through the model to view and evaluate internal features or stresses, providing valuable insights into the behavior of the component under simulated conditions. By leveraging the Clipping tool, engineers can more effectively assess areas of interest, observe how forces are distributed throughout the part, and understand potential failure points without the distraction of the entire model.

The other options address different functionalities within SOLIDWORKS Simulation. Creating a mesh is important for preparing a model for analysis but is not related to isolating sections of the model. Applying loads and boundary conditions is essential for defining the simulation parameters and influences how the model behaves under tested situations, but it does not serve the purpose of isolating parts of the geometry. Compiling results in summary form refers to generating reports or results of the simulations, which is separate from the visualization aspects of internal model features facilitated by the Clipping tool.
