SolidWorks Flow Simulation Reviews

This is integrated with the solidworks CAD software. This feature allows me to do flow simulations for my race car aero dynamics and wing design. The results are very accurate and it almost matches the level of ansys.

The mesh control features needs to be better. Also, its difficult to define dynamic and functional boundary conditions.

I used to model aerofoil wings in solidworks and analyse in Ansys. Now I am able to do the whole process and optimise the design within solidworks ecosystem.

Easyness of handeling. BEACON company technical support is quick

Cost of all modules is a bit higher hence need to verify ourself of our exact requirement, and sometimes we need to prioritise our requirement accordingly

A handy tool, go and grab it quickly. It saves your time and money.

We design irrigation drippers and then check their flow rates with flow simulation; if it is within our range, we say OK and go for RPD and mold making process. If not, I need to repeat the process once again.

I like the accessibility of the tools along with that we can simulate liquid and gas flow of the part so we can judge the performance of the part.

There is nothing to dislike in this Solidworks flow simulation software.

I will recommend to each and every mechanical design companies to use solidworks flow simulation.

By using this software I can simulate the liquid and gas flow of the part in realistic condition through which I can calculate the performance of the part.

It is a very simple tool to solve the flow problems of fluids like fluid mechanics problem, heat transfer problem, fracture and fatigue problems.

it has a meshing problem. we can not modify the mesh for a particular region.

highly recommended for flow problems

Fluid mechanics problem, heat transfer problem.

Using this software we can analyze the fluid flow problem, heat transfer and prepare a model on fluid flow.we can generate 3d model and simulate it.

There is nothing to dislike but the problem is on the number of iteration.

For designing purpose, heat load calculation, data simulation, heat convection or heat transfer problem it can be used, it's a good software.

It's easy to use, anyone can easily access, for the designing of heat calculation, heat transfer it is used.less time taken.

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 flow through and around your designs to calculate product performance and capabilities.

I have faced a meshing problem in the flow simulation. It can be difficult to find where things need to be changed or what an error is really addressing.

highly recommended

I have solved the liquid flow problem in fluid mechanics. We have also used Flow Simulation to get the effectiveness of aerodynamic parts for a race vehicle.

It is an application created to work the intuitive simulation of the dynamics of the computational fluid which allows the advantages of the CAD environment, the capabilities of the meshes gemetrica and the automatic determination of the flow regime without sacrificing the ease of use, efficiency and effectiveness of the software , it is important to note that it gives the ability to predict the behavior of flow fields and heat transfer processes, determining the pressure drops, temperature, comfort parameters and other interactions that the fluid may have with external agents , really comes close to reality before building the equipment.

Among the main disadvantages that can be observed which makes me disgust sometimes is that there is not much control of the meshes, this is because the elements are tetraetric, what can be controlled really is something of size and refined, if the mesh is not well refined the result may not be well interpreted causing confusion in the interpretation of the results.

The static module does not have the option to deliver gradual loading, although this option is in the non-linear modules.

That use the tool since it is excellent for the design and simulation of mechanical systems, achieving in this way to realize innovations and improvements in the development of the prototype.

With SolidWorks I have been able to make designs of heat transfer, in the conduction, convection and radiation phenomena, which allows me to simulate it and see the results before making the final design, also with the result generation allows me to see if the materials used for the design without the most adequate or require to be changed before realizing the construction of the same. The main benefit brings me the cost reduction because it prevents me from building the prototype until it has been tested in the simulation. I have solved problems of air conditioners, pirotubular boilers among others.

This has to be one of the most Innovative software packages I have ever used. If you need to demonstrate liquid flow in any type of online example you need to use the software. I needed something to simulate chemical flow and I would have never guest it would be so easy.

The interface is a little overwhelming but once you get used to it it's fine.

Get ready to learn the interface!

We realized we could do chemical simulation without having to pay thousands of dollars.

This software provides accurate and precise flow of gas and liquid. Using this we can compute the forces, pressure and stresses exerted on the body by the flow. Its user interface is simple and easy to use. The best part is the flow around the 3-D model is just like the real motion.

The price is a bit high. It should be a little bit cheaper inorder to acquire more users. Also sometimes results are unrealistic and contains error. Also simulation takes long time to complete.

This software is really easy to use and really helpful.

I am using this software to develop safe buildings, due to known motions of fluids I can position my structure in a way that the force and pressure exerted on the structure is minimised.

I cant say enough about how much this product has helped our company and every other company I have worked for. SolidWorks is the top of the line and without it we couldnt get any of our highly important projects done.

If there has to be one thing I dislike about this product it would be the price
