VSim Reviews

Energy2D, a multiphysics simulation program based on computational physics and combining particle dynamics, models all three modes for heat transfer: conduction, convection and radiation. Energy2D runs fast on most computers, eliminating the need to switch between preprocessors and solvers and postprocessors that are usually required for computational fluid dynamics simulations. It allows you design "computational experiment" to test a hypothesis or solve a problem in engineering without resorting complex mathematics. There are also plans to support different fluid types and incorporate other types energy transformations. Energy2D's conduction is very accurate, but its convection and radioactivity parts are not. Energy2D should therefore be considered qualitative in cases involving convection and/or radiation. Energy2D has been used in more than 40 scientific publications.

Your designs can be tested under real-world conditions to improve product quality and reduce prototyping and testing costs. SOLIDWORKS®, Simulation is a simple-to-use suite of structural analysis tools that uses Finite Element Analysis to predict a product’s real-world physical behavior. This can be done by virtually testing CAD models. The portfolio offers dynamic, static, and linear analysis capabilities. SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional allows you to optimize your design, determine product mechanical resist, product durability, and test heat transfer instabilities and buckling instabilities. It can also perform multi-physics sequential simulations. SOLIDWORKS Simulator Premium allows you to efficiently evaluate your designs for dynamic response, nonlinear, and composite materials. SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium offers three advanced studies: Nonlinear Dynamic, Linear Dynamics, and Non-Linear Static.
