The Advantages

  • Flow Simulation is 100% integrated into SOLIDWORKS, so there’s no necessary translation and no accompanying loss of geometrical fidelity. Design and CFD models stay in sync, reducing re-synchronization effort and the potential for errors. 
  • Flow Simulation includes Automated Boundary Meshing, which means no manual meshing time, and no required CFD expertise. Benefit from drastically reduced execution times without sacrificing accuracy. 
  • Built-in Solution Convergence reduces the number of re-runs needed due to lack of convergence and eliminates CFD specialist tweaks that would’ve been needed to attain it. Short run times enable the staging of multiple variant scenarios. 
  • The exclusive Turbulence Model automatically determines laminar, transitional, and turbulent flow regimes without the need for you to specify flow characteristics, and directly modeling flow regimes eliminates the need for a CFD specialist. The Turbulence Model offers shorter setup times and increased model accuracy compared to traditional approaches. 
  • The Wall Function for Boundary Layers provides accurate simulations, including near-wall boundary condition effects. This function reduces the trial and error associated with near-wall setup when utilizing traditional CFD approaches. 
  • Its intuitive interface reduces setup times and delivers comprehensive results analysis and best-in-class visualization capabilities.

Customer stories

The know-how of the SolidXperience optimization service has enabled LDV to achieve its productivity objectives, carry out large-scale projects and remain competitive against the competition.
Vincent Alie Design Director
Since implementing PDM, we have the foundation in place that we need to automate our processes, eliminate waste, and remove unnecessary costs.
Chip MontgomeryTeam Leader
Our success rate is so high because we’ve validated close correlation between the results we get from SOLIDWORKS Plastics Professional and actual production, using photoelastic and microscopic analysis tools to confirm the software’s simulation results.
Jeffrey NicollPresident
With SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D, we’ve reduced BOM generation time from hours to minutes, and the BOM information that we output is more accurate.
Shawn EckhardtControls Engineer
From incoming part lots to in-process assembly inspections, SOLIDWORKS Inspection software helps us catch more unacceptable parts and eliminate assembly issues.
Mark GerhartConfiguration Manage
With the automation that we’ve achieved integrating SOLIDWORKS with our ERP system, our designers only have to worry about working on the design and getting that job done properly... It’s much easier to visualize and model these designs in SOLIDWORKS, and we’ve been able to automate fabrication by employing MBD techniques.
Anderson ViecelliOwner and Engineering Manager
SOLIDWORKS Composer software gives us the capability to automate the creation of renderings and exploded views, which further enhances our understanding of the project.
Gary HagerSenior Project Manager/Engineer
What really sold me on SOLIDWORKS Visualize software was the ‘glass’ quality—how real it makes glass bottles look. We do a lot with glass and plastics, and we need a tool that provides the most photorealistic images possible. With the other packages, the glass quality was really not there, so we chose to standardize on SOLIDWORKS Visualize.
