SolidWorks Flow Simulation

Finally, a tool that simplifies fluid-flow simulation and thermal analysis so designers can conduct tests on virtual prototypes, shortening time-to-market and reducing resource requirements.

Unlike other computational fluid dynamics programs, SolidWorks® Flow Simulation combines a high level of functionality and accuracy with ease-of-use.  Fully embedded inside of SolidWorks®, Flow Simulation is perfect for the engineer who needs flow analysis, but is not an expert in the field of fluid simulation.

SolidWorks® Flow Simulation can be used in a diverse array of applications and has been designed to be extremely flexible.  Whether you are developing an automobile, the wing of an airplane, or an exhaust valve, using SolidWorks® Flow Simulation in the product development cycle can help you build a better product in less time.
