SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool that lets you simulate how liquids and gases behave inside and around your designs.
It helps you understand fluid flow, pressure, heat transfer, and performance before building physical prototypes.
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation can help solve real-world engineering problems like airflow over a surface, cooling and heating performance, fluid mixing, and pressure drops.
This makes it useful in applications like HVAC, electronics cooling, pumps, and aerodynamic design.
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation runs as an add-in inside SOLIDWORKS, so you can simulate directly on the same 3D models you design without exporting or converting files.
This keeps your workflow efficient and accurate.
You can analyse fluid flow around objects (external flow), internal flow through channels and ducts, heat transfer between fluids and solids, and multiphase flow scenarios where more than one fluid interacts.
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation is designed to be accessible to users with a SOLIDWORKS background.
There is a learning curve, but structured training and practice help users start running useful simulations quickly.
Using SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation helps you validate designs early, reduce prototype costs, optimise performance, and gain insights into fluid behaviour, thermal effects, and pressure distribution before physical testing.
