What should you know about SolidWorks simulation?

SOLIDWORKS Simulation Standard is an intuitive virtual testing environment for static linear, time-based motion, and high-cycle fatigue simulation. It delivers a concurrent engineering approach, helping you know if your product will perform properly and how long it will last-during the design phase.

What is flow simulation?

Flow simulation is a form of computational fluid dynamics which digitally replicates flows in surface water or collection systems. Performing flow simulation allows for the prediction and analysis of how a flow might be impacted by complex geometry in an operational environment.

What is fluid simulation?

The short answer: A technology that simulates the effects of a body “floating” in a fluid, thus alleviating vertical shear forces which deform soft tissue. Fluid Immersion Simulation™ is a state of the art pressure redistribution technology.
