on the inner surface of the lid (that is necessary to perform an internal analysis), I would apply environmental pressure boundary condition and then perforated plate condition (because in the real model there are lots of small vents (figure d.jpg)
#Solidworks flow simulation fan verification#
Based on this rigorous verification suite, SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation offers 26 tutorial benchmark examples ready for immediate use. Before releasing a new version of SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation, R&D engineers validate the release with a suite of 300 tests. To analyze this model I would create the simplified model shown in figure c.jpg and then I would apply the following conditions: SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation provides robust verification capabilities for validating designs.
My model is the one shown in figures a.jpg and b.jpg attached to this post (At the moment I've only modelled the openings through which air enters the enclosure and the fan that lets air in). I'm new to SolidWorks Flow Simulation and I have to simulate the air flow through an enclosure with electronic components in it. SolidWorks Flow Simulation software is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool that allows designers to calculate and analyse fluid movements, heat transfer, flow loads and fluid forces, which are crucial to the success of their designs.
