Optimization uses a Design of Experiments (DOE) technique by running different experiments and using a user-defined objective or goal to choose the optimal solution. Results below show the temperature distribution in some of the different design cases in order to choose the best package option as well as the number of fans needed along with their optimal locations.Įxample #3: Heat Exchanger – In this example, the Optimization tool in SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation is used to automatically drive the angular flap angles to their optimal values in order to achieve an equal flow rate of the fluid in each one of the channels. Then, we address how many fans are needed and what the best location of these fans should be for optimal cooling. The best design here is the short pipe with the Vortab insertion sleeves as shown in the result summary.Įxample #2: Electronics Enclosure – In this example, we first select which packaging works better for thermal distribution: solid cover or vented cover design. Specific examples show how you can leverage the integrated SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation environment to determine which design is the best based on a certain expected performance level.Įxample #1: Piping System – Comparing different design scenarios in a piping system. The webinar provides a quick introduction and a high-level overview of SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation capabilities. Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for fluid flow and heat transfer simulation improves product performance and helps you make better, more informed design decisions. Part 3: “Using CFD to drive Product Performance”
Theme #1 – The Value of Simulation / Which Design is the best? The Value and Productivity themes here show the depth and breadth of the SOLIDWORKS Simulation solutions.
