Hi, I am a graduate student in University of Malaya, For my research i want to simulate a problem and want to use this result in my research work, but in some persons view the accuracy of solidworks flow simulation is not upto that level that can be used for research works.Those who have solved these problems can pls share ur experience on the accuracy of the simulation . Thank you.
There are validation examples in the documentation.
If there is still concern, setup some known problems and solve them.
If the software wasn't accurate, it wouldn't be on the market.
But note, accuracy is based on the problem setup and physics. If the physics of your problem cannot be solved with the methods used or your problem is setup incorrectly, you won't get good results. But I can say from my work with it, we have gotten within degrees for several problems.
