    Pressure drop across pipe's annulus in Solidworks

    Hi all, I am trying to find out what pressure drop I get when I pump a fluid through annulus of one pipe that is placed (concentrically) inside another pipe. Both of the pipes have a length of 20 ft, difference in radius equals 0,225 in and I pump a fluid against gravity. When I run the first...

    Export STEP file from Creo to Solidworks

    Hi Scott, Thank you for your answer. Finally I have managed to find out how to handle the whole thing. So, the file in Creo has to be modified using 'Shrinkwrap' function that creates merged solid. After exporting such a modified file there are no zero-thickness or any other errors present in...

    Export STEP file from Creo to Solidworks

    Hi guys, I have received a STEP file that had been exported from Creo. It is going to be used to run a flow simulation in Solidworks. When I import the file into Solidworks and run geometry check I get plenty of zero thickness geometry errors. Do I have to fix all the errors on part level or...

    FEA Simulation Capabilities

    Hi, As I am not experienced at all in FEA simulations, I would like to ask you if commercially available FEA software has capabilities to run 2 simulations I am interested in: 1) Running a tube through another tube with larger ID than OD of the first one. I am interested here how much force I...
