SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation
Showing Global Min and Max Values of Results in Flow Simulation
This week a customer asked me a simple question about Flow Simulation: “How do I know where the minimum and maximum values are on my model?” This is a good question as it can be very useful to see exactly
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation: Flow Freezing
Reaching a Steady-State SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation allows for the simulation of steady-state and transient heat transfer problems. A steady-state analysis is run to determine how the heat transfer of a system stabilizes (i.e. becomes unchanging). A steady-state solution does not
... ContinuedDart Heads Improved Using SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation
I doubt there is anyone on this planet that would dare say they do not like toy Dart Guns. It’s hard to explain why it’s so much fun to successfully hit another object with a projectile. It’s too bad that
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation: Two Time Saving Tips for Project Setup
Save time on project setup in Flow Simulation by utilizing the techniques listed in this blog and companion video – propagating setup definitions across component instances, and importing setup from child components. Setting up Flow Simulation projects can involve repetitive
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation 2018: What’s New – Free-Flowing Liquids Come to SOLIDWORKS
For customers of Hawk Ridge Systems, one of the most popular uses of SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation has long been predicting the performance of hardware and industrial equipment – things like valves, manifolds, and piping systems. Engineers commonly use Flow Simulation
... ContinuedUsing SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation to Simulate Aerial Fireworks Display
In honor of America’s Independence Day, we decided to simulate an aerial fireworks display in SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation. We wondered just how closely we could recreate the effect, and we also had a few specific questions to answer; such as
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation – Ski Jumping
Let’s find out the optimal forward lean angle for a Ski jumper in SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation to help him get the longest jump in his life! In this article we will try to determine the value of a lift force
... ContinuedFlow Simulation – How to Handle a Vortex Across a Pressure Boundary
What is a “Vortex Across a Pressure Boundary?” In Flow Simulation, a vortex is a region in the fluid domain which causes a swirl in a region where there is asymmetric drag in the flow field. The vortex itself is
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Simulation Step-Up Series: Thermal Analysis
Welcome back to the SOLIDWORKS Simulation Step-Up series! Over the next few weeks, we’ll be discussing all things SOLIDWORKS Simulation. Today, the North America SOLIDWORKS Simulation experts will discuss thermal analysis. Thermal simulation specialist, Joe Galliera, is often asked which SOLIDWORKS software tool is
... ContinuedSOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation – Intercooler
“Sure… my car is fast but is it really fast enough?”. A thought on the mind of petrol heads (admittedly, just like me) the world over. In truth, it probably is but it could always be a little faster, right?
