The good news is that SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation makes it easy for engineers to use computational fluid dynamics (CFD), once an application reserved for specialists—often engineers with advanced degrees who became dedicated analysts. This could ...
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a tool no longer reserved for dedicated analysts. Advances in computer hardware and the automated setup provided by modern CFD software make it accessible for design engineers to evaluate and ...
SOLIDWORKS Simulation is a CAD-embedded finite element analysis (FEA) software that enables designers and engineers to perform structural analysis during the design phase. For predicting the performance of ductile metals such as steel and aluminum ...
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation is a CAD-embedded computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software that enables designers and engineers to perform thermal and fluid flow analysis at design-time. Once a Flow Simulation project is set up, the analysis ...
The Insert Part feature can help avoid many of the pitfalls and complexities of assembly in-context references.
Mold filling simulation allows for verifying part design before mold tool steel is ever cut—ensuring that major revisions will not be necessary to either the part or the molds.
Imported models (such as .STEP and .IGES) can benefit from Direct Editing techniques.
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation is a powerful, general-purpose CFD package integrated directly into the SOLIDWORKS CAD environment.
Advanced and little-known techniques can improve the quality of the final renderings.
Finite element analysis with SOLIDWORKS Simulation allows analyzing load cases and predicting the resulting stresses and displacements of a model directly within SOLIDWORKS CAD.
If you’ve heard the phrase “the drawing is the contract” then First Article Inspection or FAI reports are the means by which said contract is enforced.
Three use cases for nonlinear static analysis in SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium, with examples.
A simple workflow can serve as a basis for creating a robust CAD model.
