If you don't have a Flow Simulation license (it isn't bundled with any other SOLIDWORKS or Simulation licenses) you would need to buy a license.
If prompted to select a location for installation files select ‘Cancel’ and the program will then attempt to download the missing files.In the list of products locate and select the toggle for ‘SolidWorks Simulation’ then proceed ‘Next’.In the dialog that appears select ‘SolidWorks Premium’ and select ‘Also show products that are not part of this package then press ‘OK’.On the ‘Product Selection’ screen locate and select the option for ‘Select different packages or products’ Hi, i need help regarding simulating a bulb or a flourescent light radiation in a space or room using flow simulation, does anyone know how could this be done correctly i just got to make sure that what im really doing is right, thanks to anyone who can help me.
SW2021 allows you to save defeatured (or simplified) components as a configuration, giving you the ability to toggle between the detailed version and the defeatured version while you work.If that button is grayed out it would usually indicate that the Flow Simulation add-in is not installed onto your machine. SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation is a fantastic CFD software tool and can create very compelling visualizations of the results that youd want to share with others. In SW2021, the steps required to resolve the lightweight component is reduced to a simple selection and expansion of the component in the model tree. One innovation in SW is the use of lightweight components-assembly segments with only partial data-to speed up large assembly loading. This offers a much easier way to single out the problematic parts than a plain Excel sheet with part numbers. Add-on modules for Flow Simulation: HVAC Module offers additional simulation capabilities for advanced radiation and thermal comforts analysis. SW2021 gives you the option to export clash reports with thumbnails of the parts involved, making it easier to identify the culprits causing interference. A new eyedropper tool (similar to what's found in Adobe Photoshop) allows you to pick colors from other graphics for defining part colors. It also supports adding flanges along nonplaner edges, cutting down the steps required to create flanges on sheetmetal parts with bends.
In sheet metal design, SW2021 supports embedded equations in custom properties and cut list. Improvements to graphics performance in SOLIDWORKS 2021 take advantage of your certified graphics card to deliver smooth responsive performance when working with large assemblies. It's turned on by default in SW2021, he pointed out. You can also do it through a menu following Flow Simulation > Insert and the goal types are at the top of that listing. GPU acceleration was rolled out in SW2019. The most direct way to define a goal is to right-click on the Goals icon (a black-and-yellow checkered flag) in the SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation tree to choose your goal type. “The better the graphics card you have, the better the performance you get,” said Sweeney. It also leverage the GPU for model rotation and large drawing display. In occlusion culling, silhouette edges and hidden line display, the software takes advantage of the GPU. In SW2021, your GPU gets more involved in the visualization of your 3D models-the result of “a multiyear effort to rearchitect the graphics engine,” as Sweeney put it. The other initiatives are devoted to 3DEXPERIENCE integration and enhancements. This ratio, he added, reflects the desire of the users as expressed in the internal survey. To be specific, he and his colleagues began tackling the backlog of bugs, starting with those classified as Severity 1 & 2. The R&D team spent about 60% of the efforts on these areas, Sweeney revealed. In this release, the emphasis is on “quality and performance,” according to Regnerus. “It's been a long road and a strange year for a lot of us, but we have a great release and the customers will enjoy it,” he said. John Sweeney, senior director of the SW development team, was a co-presenter. The 90-minute talk with his co-presenters, he pointed out, can only cover “some of the features in 2021.” Last week, Jeremy Regnerus, Senior Solutions Consultant, Dassault Systèmes, hosted a livestream session detailing SOLIDWORKS 2021 (SW2021).
