The Compare Configuration Mode tool makes it easy to compare the setup and results of Fluid Flow analyses. You can leverage these results to efficiently improve your designs.
When you use the Particle Study feature, the Erosion Plot lets you visualize the distribution of the erosion accumulation rate on a surface. This is particularly useful for two-phase flow aspects in particle-wall interactions.
The Evenly Spaced Surface Streamline algorithm uses a novel GPU-based technology to render evenly spaced surface streamlines in interactive real-time mode. This offers an optimal distribution of streamlines over a given surface.
SolidWorks Flow Simulation 2013 has improved the visibility of geometrical and flow configurations.
A new set of tools offers you more flexibility in handling complex geometries for fluid model creation or boundary condition definitions. The new functionalities save you time in preparing the model geometry for the fluid flow analysis.
The ability to model condensation is extended to low temperatures below -70 ºC. This allows you to simulate steam or humidity in extreme conditions.
The Parametric Study Mode enables designers to run multiple fluid flow tests automatically and then investigate the results to determine the best design. This mode makes it more intuitive for you to evaluate design scenarios.
Result plots from Flow Simulation saved as eDrawings files are improved to show the plot legend.
