SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation 2024 improves the life of anyone who needs to simulate computational fluid dynamics. With improvements to exporting feature lists, a better experience for electrotonic cooling applications, and meshing, this truly is the best release yet.
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation 2024 introduces the ability to import and export component lists to and from Excel. This feature is particularly valuable for those dealing with thermal problems and managing solid materials volume heat sources.
It also caters to electronics cooling module users by allowing them to manage user database items for PCBs and resistor components. The process is straightforward: export the component list to Excel, make necessary adjustments, and reimport the updated properties, making it easy to test new scenarios rapidly.
SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation 2024 also includes improvements in mesh generation scalability. Larger cell count meshes can now be generated notably faster.
Another meshing enhancement introduces mesh "bullying" operations, which handle complex and problematic geometry more efficiently. This feature is useful when dealing with geometry issues like bad topology, missing entities, or self-intersecting faces that may have caused the solver to fail previously.
These enhancements collectively contribute to an improved and more efficient SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation experience.
