SolidWorks Flow Simulation
Instructor Led Analysis Training Course
Designed to help you become productive faster, this introductory course offers hands-on training on the use of SolidWorks Flow Simulation. The two-day training program provides an indepth session on the basics of turbulent fluid flow analysis, in addition to covering meshing concerns, modeling concerns, analysis, post-processing, available options and preferences.
Course details and prerequisites:
Duration: 2 Days
Type: Instructor Led
Level: Basic to Intermediate
Prerequisites:
- Attended the SolidWorks Essentials course
