Heat Exchanger stress analysis
Heat Exchanger stress analysis
(OP)
Hi all,
Just a few quick questions.
Is SW Simulation any good for doing a full thermal and pressure analysis on a very large heat exchanger?
Does it also show thermal expansion?
I have used abaqus and ansys before for this type of work, but I have never used SW Sim for this.

RE: Heat Exchanger stress analysis
You can do this by two ways:
- Run a Flow Simulation Analysis and export the results in a static analysis;
- run a thermal study (available from SolidWorks Simulation Professional).
