(continued...) Up to ten substances can be combined within a project, specifying the relative proportions of each.
Advanced options include heat transfer, time dependence and gravitational effects.
The final wizard page sets initial model parameters such as pressure, temperature and density plus velocity.
By setting good estimates the analysis run time can be reduced.
Turbulence settings such as intensity, length, energy and dissipation can also be set.
On leaving the wizard a FloWorks tab is generated in the SolidWorks FeatureManager containing a tree giving access to the project input data and results.
The benefits of integration with the modeller become immediately apparent.
For internal flows, model openings need to be closed in order to create a fully closed volume.
This is simply done by adding SolidWorks features.
Historically the transfer of a design to analysis was problematic as it was not the part that was required but the empty space.
