Hi,
any COSMOS Floworks users there who want to share knowledge of this amazing software ?
One topic could be this one: how's your experience with rotating components problems ?
For example: what's the fastest approach in your opinion to study a pump ? Would you a rotating region thorugh a dummy component ?
Anyway Floworks has a nice pdf tutorial in the installation folder which covers a wide variety of topics.

In another area, the biggest issue I am facing is connectingfloworks results to cosmosworks. For example, if I model aflat plate, held perpendicular to a uniform flow of 64m/s, floworkscalculates a total force of 500Newtons. When I export thepressure results to cosmos and run a static analysis, cosmos givesa reaction force at the simple supports of 13 Newtons. Theyshould be the same, what's wrong?
I assume this is an external flow analysis. How are you measuring force in floworks? Selecting only the face directly exposed to the uniform flow to measure force will give you a high reading because it wont account for the atmospheric pressure acting on the rear of the plate. Of course, this is purely a guess.
