I'm no FEA expert but from my dealings with the automotive
sector I'm fairly sure you won't be able to do anything that
complex in the standard SolidWorks simulation packages. You are
looking at specialist modules for high end FEA systems in things
like CATIA. This is a link to the CATIA simluation section:
There are 2 key products used for detailed vehicle crash
analysis. Abaqus (
A Dassault
Systemes SIMULIA packageA Dassault Systemes SIMULIA package)
and LS-DYNA (By LSTC).
While ADAMS is used by pretty much every single car company for
vehicle dynamics, the above packages are used for simulating high
speed collisions with large plastic deformation.
