The part in question is thin rectangular plate with a hole through its center. An outward-acting force (tension) is applied to one of the faces, and the opposite face is fixed. However when I mesh and run the simulation SW is unable to complete the simulation. Solid Edge can perform this with this simulation tools. Any ideas how I can get this loading scenario to work with SW? A picture of the simulation set-up is attached.

Thanks in advance
There can be several reasons behind it. Are you trying to use SimulationXpress or SimulationWorks. Can you upload the part (with boundary conditions set) here to check.
I did a quick test using SW SimulationXpress and it worked fine.
