Hi, I was wondering if anybody knows how to do a 2-D
simulation in solidworks, such as flow over an airfoil? Would I
have to create a 3-D model, then solve along a specified plane?
yes, floworks can analyze a 2d plane flow problem. Under
'input data', select the 'computational domain' and there is a tab
for 'boundary condition' with the option for 2d flow. select the
plane for the flow, such as x-y plane. be sure to set up your model
centered on one of the three main planes.
Rich.
