SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation is a powerful Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis solution, fully embedded within the SOLIDWORKS design environment, to easily evaluate the fluid performance and heat transfer of a product.

SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation allows designers to simulate the flow of liquids and gases under real-world conditions, based on scenarios that have been identified by the engineer as necessary, effectively analyzing the effects of fluid flow, heat transfer, and associated forces on or through product components. Design variations can be quickly compared to make better decisions, resulting in superior-performing products.

SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation offers two flow modules that include industry-specific simulation tools, processes, and methods for HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) and Electronic Cooling. These modules are add-ons to the SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation license.
