What is SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation?

Immerse yourself in the simulation of fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and fluidic forces that are vital for achieving the outcomes you envision for your projects. With SOLIDWORKS® Flow Simulation, a user-friendly Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tool embedded within the SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD environment, you can quickly and easily model how liquids and gases interact with your designs to evaluate their performance and functionality. The SOLIDWORKS® suite is crafted for simplicity, fostering smooth collaboration that boosts your capacity to develop products more efficiently and economically. Utilizing SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation, you and your team can accurately mimic fluid behavior, temperature distribution, and the forces at play, which are essential for your product's success. Companies of all sizes need integrated solutions to inspire innovation and enhance their operations. By harnessing the power of CFD, you can thoroughly assess how fluid dynamics, thermal transfer, and related forces influence your projects, while simultaneously exploring various "what if" scenarios to streamline design improvements. This methodology not only elevates the quality of your products but also significantly speeds up the entire development lifecycle, ultimately positioning your team for success in a competitive market. Moreover, by adopting these advanced simulation techniques, you can unlock new possibilities for creativity and innovation, ensuring your designs stand out.

What is RayViz?

RayViz, developed by Lambda Research Corporation, serves as an add-in for SOLIDWORKS, allowing users to effortlessly integrate and preserve optical properties directly within the CAD environment of SOLIDWORKS. This functionality empowers users to assign optical characteristics from the TracePro property database, thus embedding these attributes into the SOLIDWORKS model. With the ability to define light sources and perform ray tracing within SOLIDWORKS, users can effectively visualize light rays and their paths, facilitating the examination of beam trajectories, identification of vignetting from mechanical components, and detection of light leaks in light guides. Furthermore, RayViz includes extensive catalogs of LED sources and options for Gaussian and Lambertian beam profiles. One significant advantage of utilizing RayViz is its capability to save SOLIDWORKS models in the TracePro file format, which opens the door for comprehensive optical analysis within TracePro. Additionally, any modifications to the SOLIDWORKS model can be easily updated using the "update from RayViz" feature in TracePro, further enhancing workflow efficiency. As a result, this integration not only simplifies the design process for optical engineers but also brings together essential tools into a cohesive platform, ultimately fostering innovation in optical design. This comprehensive approach ensures that engineers can focus on optimizing their designs without being bogged down by cumbersome processes.
