Flow Simulation is a powerful tool for evaluating the thermal performance of any engineering design, whether you are heat treating metal, cooling down electronics, or keeping your engine at the optimum temperature the flow of fluids to transfer heat is easy to calculate with this easy to use SOLIDWORKS solution. In this example we’ll be testing a common problem in my household, bringing room temperature beer down to a drinkable temperature as quickly as possible. This video takes you through the setup of a Flow Simulation study from start to finish to analyze a time-dependent thermal problem. All you really need to get started are 3D models of the containers for the fluids and a few parameters such as temperature and alcohol content.
Just remember not to drink and design! The world doesn’t need another Pontiac Aztec. If you would like the assembly files from first video, please contact us at mlc-cad.com.
