There are a few enhancements and tweaks that either didn’t make it into the What’s New guide or might be placed in a section that you may have missed. This article will show the somewhat obscure changes in SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2020.
This article is about a new interface enhancement to SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation, fan derating, that can be found in SOLIDWORKS 2020. Fans can operate at different speeds. In order to slow down a fan in Flow Simulation 2019 and prior, you would have to manually adjust their fan curve using a spreadsheet. Now in SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation 2020, you can view and adjust their fan curve directly in the Fans PropertyManager.
In all versions of SOLIDWORKS Simulation, Remote Loads can be created using two connection types: Rigid and Distributed. Now with Simulation 2020, we can use these same two options with Bolt and Pin connectors as well. To see the difference between these options, I’ve run a few comparison studies to illustrate what they are doing. Can you tell the difference between these two stress plots?
