Simulating Free Surface Flow with SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation

Free surface flow occurs when a fluid interacts with an open boundary, such as water crashing on a beach or sloshing in a moving container. It typically occurs at the interface between immiscible fluids (liquids and air) and proves a challenge to properly account for in your designs. SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation allows us to simulate […]

How to Use the Move Component Command in SOLIDWORKS

When doing assembly modeling in SOLIDWORKS, we usually use the Move Component command by left or right-clicking a component and then dragging the cursor. This interactive approach is great for most operations, but it can be challenging to move components precisely. Drag moves are always in plane with your view orientation, and the final location […]

How to Use Multiple Terminal Symbols in SOLIDWORKS Electrical

Prior to SOLIDWORKS Electrical 2025, unlike other electrical components, you were unable to insert multiple terminal symbols. Therefore, a workaround is required for single-level terminals in versions older than SOLIDWORKS 2025. While SOLIDWORKS Electrical 2025 and newer versions added a new workflow to natively represent single-level terminals with multiple symbols, there is a solution for […]
