It is no secret that SOLIDWORKS offers accurate and intuitive simulation solutions. With so many options, how do you know you have the right thermal analysis tool for your team?

The SOLIDWORKS Simulation suite of products offers a range of study types, such as linear and nonlinear analysis, dynamic loading, thermal analysis, buckling, vibration studies, air flow, and plenty more! Users can ensure they have the right tool for nearly any study.

Some studies even provide flexibility on which tool can be used, such as a thermal analysis. Thermal studies can be solved in both SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional and SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation, but how will users know which tool is going to be the better fit for the job at hand?

Join TriMech Solution Consultants Rachel Jackson and Alaa Hosn as they dive into the key differences between the thermal analysis capabilities in SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional and SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation. Users will get an understanding of how the setup and post-processing of a simulation may vary within each tool. This includes a discussion covering what model preparation entails, the types and coefficients of heat transfer, whether there is fluid flow, and analyzing the results. After this webinar, users will feel more comfortable with use cases and when to use which simulation package.

In this thermal analysis webinar, you will learn:

• The impact of fluid flow on the simulation study type

• Heat transfer coefficients in SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional vs. SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation

• Model preparation, setup, and solving process overview

• Post-processing abilities within each software

• Typical use case scenarios for each thermal analysis tool
