SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation: A customizable engineering database allows users to model and record specific solid, fluid, and fan behavior. SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation and HVAC Module: The HVAC engineering database extension adds specific HVAC components. SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation and Electric Cooling Module: Electronic Cooling's extensive technical database contains specific electronic components and their thermal properties.
Calculate the impact of the liquid flow through your product.
Calculate the impact of the liquid flow around your product
By default, all calculations are on a full 3D domain. Where applicable, simulations can also be run in a 2D plane to reduce run time without affecting accuracy.
The calculation of the temperature change in the solid geometry of the product is an option selection. Conjugated heat transfer by convection, conduction and radiation can be created. Calculations can include thermal contact resistance. SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation: Calculate pure heat conductivity in solids to identify problems where no liquid is present for quick fixes. SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation and HVAC Module: Use materials that are semi-transparent to radiation for precise solutions where the thermal load on the product is influenced by transparent materials. SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation and Electric Cooling Module:
Use liquid buoyancy important for natural convection, surface clearance, and mixing problems.
Ability to simulate moving / rotating surfaces or parts to calculate the effect of rotating / moving devices.
It allows you to simulate flows with a free moving interface between two immiscible liquids, such as gas-liquid, liquid-liquid, gas-non-Newtonian liquid.
Simulation solution times can be shortened by using symmetry. Cartesian symmetry can be applied to x, y or z planes. Sector period icy allows users to calculate a sector of a cylindrical flow.
Calculation of both ideal and real currents for subsonic, transonic and supersonic conditions.
Liquid flows can be described as incompressible, compressible, or as non-Newtonian (as oil, blood, sauce, etc.) For water flows, the location of cavitation can also be determined.
For flows with steam, water vapor condensation and relative humidity are calculated.
Laminar, turbulent, and transitional boundary layers are calculated using a modified Law of the Wall approach.
Immiscible Mixtures: Run a stream of liquids belonging to gases, liquids, or non-Newtonian liquids.
Determine the flow behavior of non-Newtonian liquids, such as oil, blood, sauce, etc.
Problems can be defined by speed, pressure, mass or volume flow.
Thermal properties for liquids and solids can be set locally and globally for precise adjustment.
Local and global thermal and roughness walls of the wall can be adjusted for accurate adjustment.
Ability to treat some model components as porous media with liquid flow through them, or simulate them as liquid cavities with distributed resistance to liquid flow.
Visualize the stress and movement of your assembly with customizable 3D plots. Animate the reaction of your assembly under loads to visualize deformations, vibration modes, contact behavior, optimization alternatives, and current paths.
Provides the standard result components for structural analysis, such as von Mises stresses, displacements, temperature, etc. The intuitive equation-driven results plot allows you to adjust the post-processing of structural analysis results for better understanding and interpretation of product behavior.
Create and publish custom reports for communicating simulation results and collaboration with eDrawings®.
Ability to calculate (with the post-processor) in the obtained fields of results, movements of the specified particles (Particle Studies) or flows of the specified foreign liquids (Tracer Study) in the liquid flow, which does not affect this liquid flow.
Noise prediction using a Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) algorithm that converts a time signal into the complex frequency domain for temporal analysis.
HVAC-applications vary widely. Considerations for meeting thermal performance and quality requirements include optimization of airflow, temperature, air quality, and containment.
Understand and evaluate thermal comfort levels for multiple environments using thermal comfort factor analysis.
