Even though the (better mesh adaptation, HVAC module, electronics cooling module, transient EMA), the 2012 tutorial remains surprisingly useful for:

Are you dealing with (like a pipe) or external flow (like aerodynamics)? solidworks flow simulation 2012 tutorial.pdf

If you run into issues during your analysis, check these common problem areas: Error / Symptom Likely Cause Open gaps in assembly Use the Check Geometry tool; enlarge or rebuild your lids. Averaging lines fluctuating Unsteady/turbulent flow

: Define the default thermal conditions and roughness of the internal surfaces. 3. Defining Boundary Conditions Right-click on in the Flow Simulation design tree

Applied to solid bodies to simulate components generating heat (e.g., a microchip). Engineering Goals

The Wizard is the most efficient way to define the global parameters of your study: : Select SI or IPS. If velocities or pressures shoot up to infinity,

If velocities or pressures shoot up to infinity, your boundary conditions might be physically impossible (e.g., trying to force too much fluid through a tiny hole). Check your units and input values.

SolidWorks 2012 features an automatic rectangular mesh generator.

A standard simulation follows a structured process to ensure accurate results: SolidWorks® Flow Simulation
