SolidWorks Training
We had been using AutoCAD for over 5 years but many of our customers were sending us complicated 3D models in SolidWorks. We contacted Hawk Ridge to purchase 5 seats. The sales and implementation process could not have been better. Now we receive “free” tips and trainings with other users in our area. Talk about added value!!

Training Courses: SolidWorks Flow Simulation

This class is designed to give a comprehensive hands-on overview of the core concepts of doing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) using SolidWorks Flow Simulation. This one-day training program is designed for new users of the Flow Simulation tool, and explores the key elements of performing fluid flow analysis, including model preparation, mesh optimization, heat transfer and result post processing.


Class Duration: 1 Day

Recommended Pre-Requisites:

  • Introduction to SolidWorks

Main Topics Covered:

  • Core CFD Concepts and Governing Equations
  • Model Preparation and Geometry Considerations
  • Mesh Creation and Optimization
  • Applying Boundary Conditions
  • Open & Closed Systems
  • Solving Options and Techniques
  • Conductive, Convective and Radiative Heat Transfer
  • Conjugate Heat Transfer
  • Analysis of Filters and other Porous Media
  • Post Processing and Result Visualization
  • Steady State and Transient Analysis

Upon completion of this course, users will have the core skills to competently perform most types of flow analysis. Additional industry-and application- specific training is available through our Flow Simulation web-training offerings.
