SimWorks

Simulation and modelling work requires appropriate software. Such software needs to be specialized to handle those tasks, as it has to encompass a wide set of features. In this case, when it comes to CFD programs, SimWorks is an app that provides an entry into this field through numerous features, all free to use.

Equipped to handle intricate modelling, the program offers a flexible, resizable interface, which can be modified as you see fit. Its 3D viewer helps users see the model they're working on and interact with it, while the user interface allows for in-depth geometry inspection, in addition to handling the capability to handle pre- and post-processing work.

There's a console at the bottom, made to help you track the simulation in more detail. Users can modify virtually any parameter relating to their models: the Mesh and Regions tabs allow for a lot of customization, permitting any modification of their properties.

As the program offers the capability to create and run simulations of all kinds, including aerodynamics and thermal ones, the settings in the Setup tab are fit for that purpose: Physics Models, as an example, allows you to change parameters such as the fluid phase, compressibility, gravity, and other physics-related elements, as well as their material properties, including their density and viscosity.
