Question: How do I use FloXpress in Solidworks?

What is SOLIDWORKS FloXpress?

SOLIDWORKS FloXpress is a fluid dynamics application that calculates how fluid flows through part or assembly models. Based on the calculated velocity field, you can find problem areas in your design and improve them before you manufacture any parts.

What is solidworks flow simulation?
