"Solidworks simulation review"

4/5

What do you like best about SolidWorks Flow Simulation?

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.

What do you dislike about SolidWorks Flow Simulation?

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.

"User friendly and intuitive"

5/5

What do you like best about SolidWorks Flow Simulation?

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.

What do you dislike about SolidWorks Flow Simulation?

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.

"Basic Flow Solver"

1.5/5

What do you like best about SolidWorks Flow Simulation?

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.

What do you dislike about SolidWorks Flow Simulation?

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.

What problems is SolidWorks Flow Simulation solving and how is that benefiting you?

I find that the SW flow simulation is only a tool for very basic cases. I have found that it works better for internal flows and is not accurate for external flows. I usually use it instead of advanced flow solvers when the geometry is already generated in SW and I am more interested in how the flow will look like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nearly as good as the best"

4/5

What do you like best about SolidWorks Flow Simulation?

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.

What do you dislike about SolidWorks Flow Simulation?

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.

"SolidWorks Flow Simulation an effective tool to get initial idea"

5/5

What do you like best about SolidWorks Flow Simulation?

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

What do you dislike about SolidWorks Flow Simulation?

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.

Recommendations to others considering SolidWorks Flow Simulation:

A handy tool, go and grab it quickly. It saves your time and money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SolidWorks Flow Simulation solving and how is that benefiting you?

We design irrigation drippers and then check their flow rates with flow simulation; if it is within our range, we say OK and go for RPD and mold making process. If not, I need to repeat the process once again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
