The volume of fluid method (VOF) used to simulate flows with a freely moving interface between two immiscible fluids is enhanced in SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation 2021, enabling you to include rotating regions and solve mixing simulations more accurately. For post processing activities, discover multiple improvements with plots that will reduce plot creation and modification time so you can publish and share meaningful results faster.
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation is an intuitive Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solution embedded within SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD that enables you to quickly and easily simulate liquid and gas flows through and around your designs to calculate product performance and capabilities.
Visualize the stress and displacement of your assembly with customizable 3D plots. Animate the response of your assembly under loads to visualize deformations, vibration modes, contact behavior, optimization alternatives, and flow trajectories.
Ability to calculate (with the post-processor) in the obtained fields of results, motions of the specified particles (Particle Studies) or flows of the specified extraneous fluids (Tracer Study) in the fluid flow, which does not affect this fluid flow.
We supplied an inertia separator to a client. They issued the order and then came back with some further information on the anti-icing system. We were able to run a thermal and fluid flow analysis with SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation within 24 hours to confirm that the product supplied would work and that the anti-icing would have no hot or cold spots on the separator vanes. This saved us and the customer up to four weeks in external review and 5 to 10K in assessment costs, and kept the project on-time and on-budget.
What If allows you to vary a set of selected variable parameters (such as model dimensions, boundary condition parameters, initial mesh settings. etc.) in order to analyze the selected flow parameters (defined as goals). For example, you can vary the position of internal fans, the inlet air flow velocity and track the maximum temperature value of a critical component for these variations. The beauty is that it only takes you 5 minutes to define dozens of CFD scenarios!
After cloning an existing simulation in Solidworks the new simulation will reset the computational domain and even if I change it again, when I'm doing a batch run the result will reset the computational domain.
An Introduction to SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation 2018 takes you through the steps of creating the SOLIDWORKS part for the simulation followed by the setup and calculation of the SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation project. The results from calculations are visualized and compared with theoretical solutions and empirical data. Each chapter starts with the objectives and a description of the specific problems that are studied. End of chapter exercises are included for reinforcement and practice of what has been learned.
The fourteen chapters of this book are directed towards first-time to intermediate level users of SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation. It is intended to be a supplement to undergraduate Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer related courses. This book can also be used to show students the capabilities of fluid flow and heat transfer simulations in freshman and sophomore courses such as Introduction to Engineering. Both internal and external flow problems are covered and compared with experimental results and analytical solutions. Covered topics include airfoil flow, boundary layers, flow meters, heat exchanger, natural and forced convection, pipe flow, rotating flow, tube bank flow and valve flow.
Product engineers and CFD experts alike, armed with the power of SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation, can predict flow fields, mixing processes, and heat transfer, and directly determine pressure drop, comfort parameters, fluid forces, and fluid structure interaction during design.
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation uses Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis to enable quick, efficient simulation of fluid flow and heat transfer. You can easily calculate fluid forces and understand the impact of a liquid or gas on product performance.
Easily investigate the impact of cooling and design changes on component temperatures using thermal fluid analysis in SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation. You can quickly determine the impact of fluids flowing in and around the design to ensure correct thermal performance, product quality, and safety.
Instantly determine how a design will react to fluid flow and simulate how gas, heat, air, and steam will move through pipes and nozzles. For engines and motors, the software reveals how fluids will react internally and externally.
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation software takes the complexity out of flow analysis and enables engineers to easily simulate fluid flow, heat transfer, and fluid forces so engineers can investigate the impact of a liquid or gas flow on product performance.
Flow Simulation also has the ability to create more uniform meshes for improved convergence and accuracy. This meshing ability can be used for both internal and external flows. Users are able to set local mesh domains within which the mesh is optimized. To define these domains more easily, Flow Simulation 2016 allows users to directly create domains around a specific design detail without adding a geometric feature, which was previously needed. Each domain can be set to have either a particular cell size or cell number for local optimization of the mesh to capture all the detail of the model while still maintaining a uniform mesh around that model.
A significant time saver for engineers will be the ability to use nested iterations when computing a transient analysis. Derbal explained that simulations that traditionally need small time steps can take days or weeks to solve.
With the nested iterations, however, much larger time steps are permissible, reducing your computational time considerably. Derbal noted that the new computation will not be able to capture tiny transient details in the results, so the accuracy may be reduced by a small percentage. However, if that accuracy level is good enough for your simulation, then the time savings is well worth it.
The Narrow Channels tab deals with areas where flow conditions occur in small gaps. It allows an input of the minimum number of cells you desire, as well as a refinement level of how many times you will allow the software to split the cells in an attempt to achieve that. The process stops when either setting is hit.
When it comes to FloEFD vs SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation, both are highly functional solutions. SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation simulates fluid flow, heat transfer, electronic cooling, and fluid forces. Some of these capabilities require the purchase of specialized modules, which is covered in the dedicated modules section below.
FloEFD is also a highly functional EFD computation engine. It automatically recognizes changes to models and ensures that the CADS geometry and the simulation data are in sync. It includes models, porous media, PCB and LEDs, HVAC, combustion, and hypersonic flow. It also has the most advanced meshing algorithm capabilities.
This paper contains validation of actual response values of the pump and simulated experiment values and improves the performance of the submersible pump. The performance of a submersible pump mainly depends upon the pump impeller and casing. The design data and actual functional response values of a submersible pump model were provided by a leading pump manufacturing industry. Based on this, the pump impeller and casing were modeled using the parametric design modeling feature in Solidworks 2013. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis is adopted for predicting pump performance at various mass-flow rates, pressure head, and pump efficiency. The fluid flow simulation of the functional response values of the pump is carried out in the ANSYS-CFX tool. The actual response values of the pump and simulated experiment values are compared and the details are presented. The impeller design parameters impeller diameter, impeller vane width, number of vanes, impeller inlet vane angle and outlet vane angle are modified for the optimum conditions of the pump and the optimum ranges are selected from the literature review. The optimum ranges for various combinations of the pump design parameters are modeled and analyzed. The optimum and better performance of the submersible pump is predicted.
