The compromise is: do you want a quick automatic mesh, or should you spend time to optimize the size of the global mesh?” “When you have a large model, it means more CPU time. “For any simulation, the time spent on meshing is important to the user,” said Derbal. Lotfi Derbal, product portfolio manager for SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation at Dassault Systèmes, notes that perhaps the most important improvement to the software is its meshing enhancements. Meshing Is Key to SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation 2016 However, the team at SOLIDWORKS has created a series of updates to their CFD tool, SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation, in the 2016 release. With all of the buzz of what’s new in SOLIDWORKS 2016, and even SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2016, many engineers that specialize in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) might feel left out.
