SolidWorks Flow Simulation Reviews & Product Details

Solidworks flow simulation is simple and easy to use it’s need to give very few input and it give better output too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solidworks Flow may not provide results as precise as other CAE packages like ANSYS Fluent, and its meshing capabilities may also be subpar. However, the results obtained from Solidworks Flow can serve as an initial approximation for design purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good for low budget and less accurate simulation and analysis if your project isn't completely reliable on strict Analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Less accurate in simulation and analysis compared to other analysis softwares Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is integrated with the solidworks CAD software. This feature allows me to do flow simulations for my race car aero dynamics and wing design. The results are very accurate and it almost matches the level of ansys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The mesh control features needs to be better. Also, its difficult to define dynamic and functional boundary conditions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Actually it's interface ,in my knowledge is the best from other applications available in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1st is that sometimes it's laggs don't know why and I have to restart from the beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The quality of analysis is so on point service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Noting much its a great software to work on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The good thing about the SolidWorks Flow Simulation tool is that the case setup is quick and a step-by-step procedure so that any user is able to perform the simulation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an experienced CFD user I dislike the following points about the software:

-Very little control over the mesh generation

-Limited turbulence models

-No transient solver

-No motion permitted Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Flow simulation integrates directly with SOLIDWORKS as a plugin, allowing you to run simulations on your assemblies and make changes quickly based on results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SOLIDWORKS does not effectively use multiple PC cores. It is best to have fast cores instead of multiple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easyness of handeling. BEACON company technical support is quick Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost of all modules is a bit higher hence need to verify ourself of our exact requirement, and sometimes we need to prioritise our requirement accordingly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Through the use of Solid works Flow simulation we can determine the various properties of fluids such as their velocity, circulation, vortex flow, density, pressure etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All the aspects are very good in this simulation software but it takes time to understand all the processes of various properties. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solidworks has a less steeper learning curve when compared to other softwares. It is easier to train people to use it. Offers a great deal of features which can be very useful for designing volumetric geometries. Also the inbuilt toolboxes offer components of multiple standards like DIN, ISO, US etc. However there are better alternatives available in the market when it comes to sheet metal design and blow moulding design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only disadvantage is that it does not have much options for sheet metal design. Also, solidworks has a relatively smaller share in certain industries which makes it difficult to migrate from one project to another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
