Hi,

I have to consider the weight of the water inside the inner volume of an entire Heat Exchanger for the Hydrostatic Test FEA on SolidWorks Simulation.
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

You will also need to include ρ*g*h pressure from the water, in addition to the Ptest.
 
Thank you very much TGS4, I will consider it.
