Go to Flow simulation

Hello

I have an installation of Solidworks student version with the modules installed on my desktop workstation, see screenshot N°1

I reactivated the licenses, I need Flow simulation to calculate a valve.

How do I find the flow simulation menu?, the simulation module is checked.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards.

Hello@spectrum

From the Windows menu ==> Solidworks ==> click on the arrow ==> and there you have all the modules. Otherwise in solidwoprks in the simulation tab.

You need to be sure that you have the version of FlowSimulation.

I don't know what you have access to with the student license because for us PROs you have to have the SW PRO version to have access to Flow.

In fact, the simulation modules are separate programs from SW even if there are information exchange bridges. In your first image it seems that you have Flow but if at the installation of solidworks you checked Flow it you download it but if you don't have the right of license and well rusk you have nothing. The message you have captured is ambiguous from this point of view.

Kind regards

Hello

Thanks for the message, it's contradictory, the license appears but not access to the extension......... sad.

I'm going to delete the whole thing and start again on Monday morning. My goal is to find the waterlines of different hulls in relation to the geometry and load in relation to the thrust of the water

Videos are available and the result is interesting, by hand it is not easy to get out all the equations especially that of the submerged volume (complex shape) or to decompose into elementary volumes by approximation.
