Version: 1.0
Option B: SolidWorks Premium + Flow Simulation Add-in
This is the classic desktop installation. download solidworks flow simulation extra quality
- What to download: The SolidWorks Installation Manager (SIM).
- The "Extra Quality" Pitch: Local GPU processing. If you have a workstation with an NVIDIA RTX A-series card, you control the mesh quality directly.
- Licensing: Network License (floating) or Standard License.
2. Electronics Cooling Module
For those in the electronics industry, this add-on provides "extra quality" by offering specialized tools for modeling heat sinks, fans, and printed circuit boards (PCBs) with accurate thermal properties.
Part 5: Validating Your "Extra Quality" Download
Once installed, you must verify that you actually obtained an extra-quality environment. Run the built-in Verification Suite. Option B: SolidWorks Premium + Flow Simulation Add-in
- In SolidWorks, click
Flow Simulation > Tools > Verification Problems.
- Run "Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) – Problem 12."
- Compare your results to the provided benchmark PDF.
What defines extra quality?
- Your results should match the benchmark within 0.5% .
- The mesh convergence graph should be monotonic.
- The solver log should show no "NaN" (Not a Number) errors .
If you see divergence >2% or stability warnings, your download is corrupted, or your license is restricted. What to download: The SolidWorks Installation Manager (SIM)
2. The "Quality" Goal Adaption
Don't guess if your mesh is good enough. Use the Adaptive Mesh Refinement:
- Process: In the "Goals" panel, set a "GG" (Global Goal) for pressure drop or force.
- Threshold: Set refinement criteria to "Level 5" (Max).
- Outcome: The solver runs, measures error, re-meshes the high-error areas, and re-runs. This is the definition of extra quality automation.
The Core Strength: True CAD-CFD Integration
The defining feature of Flow Simulation is its parametric integration. Unlike many competitors that require you to export geometry to a separate analysis environment (often resulting in lost features or geometry errors), Flow Simulation works directly on the SolidWorks model.
- What this means for quality: When you change a fillet, move a vent, or adjust a fan assembly in the CAD model, the CFD mesh and boundary conditions update automatically. This eliminates the "translation errors" that often plague lower-quality workflows.
- The Benefit: This allows for rapid design iterations. You don't have to be a CFD specialist to see how a design change affects thermal performance.
5. Post-Processing for Presentation
A high-quality simulation is useless if the report is ugly.
- Use the "Surface Plot" with anti-aliasing: Right-click plot → "Settings" → "Interpolation" → "Smooth."
- Flow Trajectories: Release 200+ streamlines from a "Point Cloud," not just one point.
