SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation
Generating a new Flow Simulation project brings up the default analysis tree. The SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation Input Data Folder by default only includes Computational Domain, Fluid Subdomains, Boundary Conditions, Goals and Mesh. These are the most common selections when setting up the study. If you…
In SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation 2018 you can reduce the analysis time when analyzing fluid flow (or conjugate heat transfer) in models consisting of axial periodic features. Using this Axial Periodicity you need to calculate the fluid flow only for a sector instead of the entire…
Now in SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation 2018 we can show the minimum and maximum values in callouts for cut and surface plots.
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation 2018 Colour Bar and Component Explore Enhancement
One of the graphical enhancements for result plots in SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation 2018 is colour bar. Colour Bar Now the colour bar can be oriented horizontally. Furthermore, the values can be displayed in logarithmic scale. These can be accessed by right clicking on the colour…
10 Reasons why EVERY Design Engineer needs SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation
Engineering Fluid Dynamics (EFD) is a new breed of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software that enables mechanical engineers to simulate fluid flow and heat transfer applications with powerful, intuitive, and accessible 3D tools. Engineering fluid dynamics is driven by engineering criteria and goals so every product engineer…
Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is no longer relegated to the realm of the specialist. A new class of CFD analysis software, ‘Concurrent CFD’, is proving to be highly effective at performing heat transfer analysis, enabling mechanical engineers to accelerate key decisions at their workstations…
If you were taught to only rely on analysis “specialists” or physical prototypes on flow benches to verify designs, it’s time to learn more about testing with today’s Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis is no longer a discipline reserved only…
For several decades engineers and mathematicians have been trying to improve the understanding and prediction of fluid dynamics and heat transfer phenomena by means of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. The objective is clear – to optimize the design of products and processes that involve…
A heat pipe is an extremely efficient device for transferring heat from its hotter surface to its colder surface due to evaporating a liquid and condensing its vapor in this device’s inner hollow. In Flow Simulation a Heat Pipe is modeled simplistically as an extremely…
