Add new fluid in solidworks flow simulation

Hi Luis,

You say it is "hard to find the proper parameters".  If you have a material data sheet that is only lists some of the fluid parameters for defining the material then your best bet is to find a similar fluid that is already in the Engineering Database to copy and use as a set of base parameters.  You can then overwrite that material definition with the parameters you do have and make a workable fluid.

Of course, it would be much better to gather all the material parameters to insert into the program for your analysis but if you cannot you may need to work around not having them all.  Keep in mind, the analysis will be only as good as the data you are able to find an insert into it.

This table gives some values for viscosity:

ISO classification – viscosity table and viscosity chart

you'll have to convert this kinematic viscosity to dynamic viscosity.
