Relax and reduce hair loss–we have the solution for your top 7 fluid flow challenges

By

Do you want to tear your hair out because you a) have to scrap entire elements of your product design, b) spend days on rework, c) spend wads of money on prototypes or d) have to recall your products because they don’t work as you expected? We get it–testing your models for heat and fluid flow scenarios can be a pain, and can wring your budget dry if you don’t have the right tools. SolidWorks has the solution for you–SolidWorks Flow Simulation–if you want to remove some of the stress and hair loss associated with tackling seven of your most difficult and complex design problems.

Not only does SolidWorks Simulation allow you to bend it, twist it, and pull it, but you can actually address hard-to-measure and hard-to-see conundrums in your design with Flow Simulation.  Here are our top 7:

1. Flow Fields

Access technical insight into flow recirculation, dead zones, and aerodynamic behavior with internal and external flow capabilities in your rocket ship design

2. Mixing Processes

Combine fluids in your piping through processes such as multiple species transport and multiple fluid zones for products where different liquids mix together from several system inlets and conjugated heat transfer with conduction, convection, and radiation.

3. Pressure Drops

Analyze complex systems and component pressures to ensure reliability before products are finalized or sent for physical prototyping.

4. Thermal Effects

Identify hot spots, quantify thermal efficiency, and ensure uniform heat distribution for heat transfer devices, such as ovensheat exchangers, as well as electronic cooling mechanisms in your electronic devices.

5. Force Prediction

Simulate and predict forces such as torque, wind loading, and pressure loads resulting from flow in or around your propeller, for example.
