CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) for Flow Analysis and Simulation
SolidWorks® Flow Simulation is the first and easiest fluid-flow simulation and thermal analysis program fully embedded within SolidWorks software.  SolidWorks Flow Simulation eliminates the need to modify your design for a different computational fluid dynamics (CFD) application saving considerable time and cost.

With its CFD analysis capabilities, you can simulate liquid and gas flow in real world conditions, run “what if” scenarios, and quickly analyze the effects of fluid flow, heat transfer, and related forces on immersed or surrounding components. Fluids of interest for analysis range from air, water, liquid chemicals, and gases to juice, ice cream, honey, plastic melts, toothpaste, blood, and others.

ADD ON MODULES

Electronic Cooling Module
