Tech Tips and Tutorials for SOLIDWORKS Simulation, FEA, and CFD Applications
Simulating Free Surface Flow with SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation
By Suman Sudhakaran on March 30, 2026
Free surface flow occurs when a fluid interacts with an open boundary, such as water crashing on a beach or sloshing in a moving container. It typically occurs at the interface between immiscible fluids (liquids…
Evaluating Angular Deformation using SOLIDWORKS Simulation
By Suman Sudhakaran on February 16, 2026
When post-processing simulation results, we may want to evaluate the angular displacement of components. Angular deformation represents the rotational displacement of a body or region about a defined axis under applied loads. This is particularly…
Modeling Thermoelectric Coolers in SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation
By Suman Sudhakaran on February 11, 2026
The Peltier effect is a phenomenon observed in thermoelectric coolers when an electric current is maintained in a circuit of two dissimilar conductors. This results in the cooling of one junction and heating of the…
Solving the “Face is not laying on the boundary between the solid and fluid region” Error
By David Arthur, CSWE-S on November 28, 2025
When trying to validate a boundary condition in SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation, we may get an error stating “Face is not laying on the boundary between the solid and fluid region”. Typically, there are three main…
