Top Rated SolidWorks Flow Simulation Alternatives
Solid works has possibly the most intuitive UI in the 3D CAD market. Dassault System has published a great product for solid products design simulation which helps in understanding the design and process flow of different products. It's a computer aided design , modeling software for designing parts and models and total system. It has some unique and simple commands that are very helpful for designing compare to other software.

SolidWorks simulation is mostly not preferred in automobile and aviation industry as it lacks in some of the functionalities and also we cannot simulate large projects using solidworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
34 out of 35 Total Reviews for SolidWorks Flow Simulation
Solidworks flow simulation is simple and easy to use it’s need to give very few input and it give better output too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Solidworks Flow may not provide results as precise as other CAE packages like ANSYS Fluent, and its meshing capabilities may also be subpar. However, the results obtained from Solidworks Flow can serve as an initial approximation for design purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Good for low budget and less accurate simulation and analysis if your project isn't completely reliable on strict Analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Less accurate in simulation and analysis compared to other analysis softwares Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is integrated with the solidworks CAD software. This feature allows me to do flow simulations for my race car aero dynamics and wing design. The results are very accurate and it almost matches the level of ansys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The mesh control features needs to be better. Also, its difficult to define dynamic and functional boundary conditions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Actually it's interface ,in my knowledge is the best from other applications available in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1st is that sometimes it's laggs don't know why and I have to restart from the beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The good thing about the SolidWorks Flow Simulation tool is that the case setup is quick and a step-by-step procedure so that any user is able to perform the simulation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As an experienced CFD user I dislike the following points about the software:
-Very little control over the mesh generation
-Limited turbulence models
-No transient solver
-No motion permitted Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Flow simulation integrates directly with SOLIDWORKS as a plugin, allowing you to run simulations on your assemblies and make changes quickly based on results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SOLIDWORKS does not effectively use multiple PC cores. It is best to have fast cores instead of multiple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easyness of handeling. BEACON company technical support is quick Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cost of all modules is a bit higher hence need to verify ourself of our exact requirement, and sometimes we need to prioritise our requirement accordingly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Through the use of Solid works Flow simulation we can determine the various properties of fluids such as their velocity, circulation, vortex flow, density, pressure etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
All the aspects are very good in this simulation software but it takes time to understand all the processes of various properties. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Through the use of Solidworks Flow Simulation software , I came to know that the various aspects of flow of Fluids (Liquids and Gases) with the change in various favorable as well as undesired conditions like in running vehicle the drag force exerted due to opposite air or wind is analysed very easily and accurately which helps in designing and manufacturing of the vehicle as to handle that force of drag without affecting the people sitting in the vehicle.

There are not much drawbacks in Solidworks Flow Simulation But according to me the one thing that I dislike most is that it cannot give results about combustion or chemical reactions of gases in real life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
