Meshing guide for SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation

Описание

Learn how to best generate a mesh for SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation CFD. This video covers global automatic and manual refinement, how to create refinement plots, how to specify local mesh refinements by component or region, the importance of "disable solid component", channel refinement, solid / fluid / partial cell refinement, as well as balancing the relationship between total cell count and runtime.
