SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation

Leverage computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and calculation capabilities to best simulate liquid and gas flows in and around your designs.

SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation is available at the earliest stages of the design process. The software includes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and calculation capabilities. It uses the finite volume method (FVM) to evaluate product performance through different study scenarios.

 

SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation allows engineers to simulate liquid and gas flows in real conditions, run potential scenarios, and quickly analyze the effects of fluid flow, heat transfer, and forces applied to submerged or surrounding components.

Why Choose SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation?

 

With SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation, you have a software solution that:

 

      • Takes into account user requests (the impact of the flow of a liquid or gas can be determined more quickly);
      • Can do without advanced CFD expertise;
    • Offers additional modules to further analyze dynamics fluids (radiation and thermal comfort, simulation of cooling);
    • Simulates liquid and gas flows in real conditions;
      • Anticipates and reduces the risk of heating;
      • Runs hypothetical scenarios and quickly analyzes the effects of fluid flows, heat transfer, and forces applied to submerged or surrounding components;
      • Imports the conditions of a defined model (material properties, thermal power, etc.) to reuse it on other projects and create a library of models;
      • Compares the results of different configurations using a comparison.
