When designing parting in SolidWorks it is important to be able to validate your design and analyze stress concentrations in the model. This is done using a process called FEA or Finite Element Analysis. With SolidWorks this is done with an Add-In called Simulation. For users who just need to analyze single Solid Bodies they can use SimulationXpress. As a quick side note, in previous versions of SolidWorks this was referred to as COSMOS and COSMOSXpress

The above video is taken directly for the SolidWorks Fundamentals by Inspirtech, a great structured learning resource for new SolidWorks users.
