Hi,

I have to consider the weight of the water inside the inner volume of an entire Heat Exchanger for the Hydrostatic Test FEA.
How can I consider it? If I set the hydrostatic pressure as external load applied to all internal surfaces (normally to them) does the software consider the weight of the water automatically?

Thank you very much

SolidWorks Simulations offers features such as remote mass and distributed mass to account for weight of components that are not modeled directly.
