What’s New in SOLIDWORKS 2021 Part 2: Simulation, Flow & Electrical

In this session of What’s New in SOLIDWORKS 2021, we are taking a look at the enhancements in the design validation tools; Simulation and Flow Simulation. Plus, a look at SOLIDWORKS Electrical.

During the next 20 minutes, Certified SOLIDWORKS Expert; Vicky Guignard, will demonstrate the design validation and electrical enhancements available in the 2021 release:

SOLIDWORKS 2021 Simulation, Flow Simulation and Electrical enhancements checklist:

SOLIDWORKS Simulation:
