Does SOLIDWORKS have flow simulation?

SOLIDWORKS® Flow Simulation is an intuitive Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solution embedded within SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD that enables you to quickly and easily simulate liquid and gas flows through and around your designs to calculate product performance and capabilities.

What is a flow simulation?

Flow simulation is a form of computational fluid dynamics which digitally replicates flows in surface water or collection systems. Performing flow simulation allows for the prediction and analysis of how a flow might be impacted by complex geometry in an operational environment.

Is solidworks flow simulation free?

In 2018 SOLIDWORKS introduced a new capability to their Flow software. This is called ‘Free Surface’ and opens up many more applications for users who need to simulate fluid behaviour where a gas and a liquid (or two immiscible liquids) share the same region of space without an intervening solid.

Does solidworks premium include flow simulation?

SOLIDWORKS^® Flow Simulation is a separately purchased product that you can use with SOLIDWORKS Standard, SOLIDWORKS Professional, and SOLIDWORKS Premium. You can use Altitude to set the atmospheric pressure and temperature.

Is solidworks good for CFD?

Solidworks can be good choice for preliminary analysis. Ansys/Fluent (CFD) is choice for accurate results. Ansys fluent of cfx is much better than Solidworks. For CFD purpose Ansys is better user-friendly as compared with Solidworks.
