SolidWorks Flow Simulation

Description:

Designed for users who would like to become productive faster, this introductory course offers hands-on training on the use of SolidWorks Flow Simulation.

Duration:

2 Days

Prerequisites:

SolidWorks Fundamentals is highly recommended but not required. Knowledge of SolidWorks and the basics of the MotionManager is required.

Topics:

  • Governing Equations
  • Meshing principles
  • Monitoring convergence

Running

  • Meshing concerns
  • Modeling concerns
  • Applying boundary conditions
  • Post-processing (vectors, contours, iso-lines, particle tracking)
  • Global data (mass/energy balance, bulk values, et cetera)
  • Analysis Types
  • Steady State
  • Transient
  • Conjugate heat transfer
  • Open/closed systems

Flow Features

  • Compressible and incompressible
  • Newtonian / non-Newtonian fluid
