Hello
I would like to know if anyone has ever done a flow calculation under Catia V5 or Solidworks??? or if it is already possible??
Thank you in advance for your answers
@gt22 indeed I am talking about a liquid that flows into a duct. In fact, this question follows a job offer where you have to have this knowledge and since I'm drying up on this field I would have liked to know if someone could have helped me with a tutorial or other.
Kind regards

Under Solidworks with the "Solidworks FlowSimulation" add-in, it's doable, yes.
What type of discharge?
Fluid mechanics or plastic injection or other material in a mold?
If it is a question of fluid mechanics, Flow Simulation will allow you to carry out almost any case with the consideration of thermal or not, cavitation effect, rotating region (fan...) then you can add specific business modules (HVAC module for air conditioners, Electronics cooling for the cooling of electronic equipment).

For injection you will have SolidWorks Plastic:

in general when we talk about flow
it is the movement of a liquid that flows through an open or non-full duct
so the liquid is in contact with the atmosphere (aqueducts, gutter, river, gutter)

Hi @ bastien
I hadn't seen your response follow-up since you edited it in your question so no auto thread reminder
when you ask a question and there are answers
and you want to complete your question, remember to answer but especially not by editing your 1st question
so to the answer to your question yes it must be possible
but I haven't seen much on the open ducts for the moment
on closed duct no problem
but I'm learning to flow myself
and it's not very simple I even find it a little twisted
There is a group on the FOFO

We work with Catia but the software used in Thermal/Fluidics is
http://www.ansys.com/Products/Simulation+Technology/Fluid+Dynamics/Fluid+Dynamics+Products/ANSYS+Fluent.
Then for fluidic volume calculations, the trick under catia or other software that I used in hydraulics was to make a volume and subtract all the components that allows you to have the filling volume
The reference in my opinion for liquid flows is FLOW-3D
http://www.youtube.com/user/FlowScience
And that includes all liquids:
Liquid aluminium
Water
Sand
Cast iron
etc....
The big problem with all this software is the characterization of materials and that's the tragedy ^^
Same as my comrades, Flow simulation will allow you to simulate the flow of the flow. Be careful, however, you have to create a closed atmosphere (ferrule style) around your component so that it starts the calculation and simulation.
