Things That Cannot Go Wrong!
Setting up SolidWorks models so that the BOM will always match the model!
Making Size on Size Branch Connections with Repads
One of several methods to make meshable solid models of branch connections.
Making Repads Using Offset Surfaces
Nozzles with repads on compound curved surfaces are the most complex to model. Here is a straightforward method.
Inspection Openings – Quick Guide
Requirements for inspection openings are based on UG-46 with some additional code passages, code cases, interpretations and a brief PTB-4 mention - all in one place.
Product Design by Comparative Pressure Drop
While it is difficult to calculate ultimate pressure drops in CFD, relative pressure drops between two related designs can be calculated leading to useful design insights allowing the best design to be chosen.
Pressure Drop in a Straight Pipe
SolidWorks Flow Simulation results are compared with theory, with emphasis on the required computer resources.
Validation Example – Flat Plate Heat Transfer
Our validation run of SolidWorks Flow Simulation sample #10 - "Flow Over a Heated Plate". How much computer resources are required to obtain a good result?
