"Amazing software for simulation of the aerodynamics of a prototype"

5/5

What do you like best about SolidWorks Flow Simulation?

What I love about Solidworks flow simulation software, is that you can actually understand how is your design functioning, and work around it. We use it to build our car prototype for our university’s Supermileage group, and we could build the most competitive and efficient car prototype using the tools from the simulation and made it a dream come true! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolidWorks Flow Simulation?

The thing I dislike, is the steep learning curve of the software. You must practice, and you will probably have (initially) a lot of errors and can be very frustrating. However, once you get it, you can be unstoppable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In our university group, we used the software to simulate how the air will go around the prototype and we could understand how to make it more aerodynamic. This way, when we built it, we already knew how the flow would affect the design and the performance on the competition we were going to Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great product for solid products simulation !"

4.5/5

What do you like best about SolidWorks Flow Simulation?

Solid works has possibly the most intuitive UI in the 3D CAD market. Dassault System has published a great product for solid products design simulation which helps in understanding the design and process flow of different products. It's a computer aided design , modeling software for designing parts and models and total system. It has some unique and simple commands that are very helpful for designing compare to other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolidWorks Flow Simulation?

SolidWorks simulation is mostly not preferred in automobile and aviation industry as it lacks in some of the functionalities and also we cannot simulate large projects using solidworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solids works simulation for non laminar flow "

4.5/5

What do you like best about SolidWorks Flow Simulation?

Solid works simulation is a modern method to simulate fuids before it's actual or real life working.This simulation has a benefit because it can also works on non newtonian fluids. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolidWorks Flow Simulation?

There is one major disadvantage that is it cannot simulation combustion reaction reaction which is not even a controlled conbustion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy and fast"

4.5/5

What do you like best about SolidWorks Flow Simulation?

It is very easy to set up flow simulations and it takes less time to run. It is very useful to approximate flow properties and visualize the general fluid flow in and around 3d components. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolidWorks Flow Simulation?

Accuracy is not as good as dedicated cfd solvers. Has troubles with highly turbulent flows and with flow separation problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Poor accuracy in results, little control over mesh "

2/5

What do you like best about SolidWorks Flow Simulation?

SW FS is very easy to learn to use and if you're designing parts in SW, the workflow pipeline to CFD becomes very simple Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolidWorks Flow Simulation?

SW FS has given very strange results. Higher camber airfoils have shown to generate less downforce. SW FS also offers little control over mesh generation and options like spinning wheels/moving roads for automotive purposes lead to bad results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
