SolidWorks Flow Simulation Capabilities

SolidWorks Flow Simulation Capabilities

SolidWorks® Flow Simulation is the first and easiest fluid-flow simulation and thermal analysis program fully embedded within SolidWorks software.

SolidWorks Flow Simulation eliminates the need to modify your design for a different computational fluid dynamics (CFD) application saving considerable time and cost.

With its CFD analysis capabilities, you can simulate liquid and gas flow in real world conditions, run "what if" scenarios, and quickly analyze the effects of fluid flow, heat transfer, and related forces on immersed or surrounding components. Fluids of interest for analysis range from air, water, liquid chemicals, and gases to juice, ice cream, honey, plastic melts, toothpaste, blood, and others.

SolidWorks Flow Simulation Capabilities include:

	Radiation heat transfer analysis: See how heat is transferred between high-temperature surfaces. You can also calculate solar radiation.
	Internal flow analysis: See how liquids and gases flow through valves, regulators, and ducts.
	Rotating reference frame analysis: It's easy to understand complex rotational flows inside turbo machinery (i.e., pumps and impellers).
	Transient flow analysis: For simulating unsteady flow over time.
	Conduction and convection heat transfer analysis: See how heat flows through an object.
