Flow Simulation · Complete SOLIDWORKS learning path
See how air and fluids flow through your models, from a first FloXpress analysis to a controlled mesh.
Free video training · Simulation
Four lessons to go from a first flow analysis with FloXpress to a complete Flow Simulation project. You learn to prepare the geometry, define the project, run the calculation, read the results and control the mesh.

What you will be able to do
✓Run a first internal flow analysis with FloXpress
✓Prepare watertight geometry with lids and check it
✓Define a complete Flow Simulation project: Wizard, boundary conditions, goals
✓Use the results and set up the mesh, both automatically and manually
Where to start
Start with lesson 1: FloXpress builds the right habits in under an hour. You already have access to SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation: go straight to lesson 2.
