The only fluid flow analysis fully embedded inside SolidWorks
 Unlike
other computational fluid dynamics programs,
COSMOSFloWorks™ combines a high level of
functionality and accuracy with ease-of-use.
Fully embedded inside of SolidWorks,
COSMOSFloWorks is perfect for the engineer who
needs flow analysis, but is not necessarily an
expert in the field of fluid simulation. A
goal-oriented approach allows you to easily gain
insight into the performance of your design
under real word conditions.
COSMOSFloWorks can be used in a diverse array
of applications and has been designed to be
extremely flexible. Whether you are developing
an automobile, the wing of an airplane, or an
exhaust valve, using COSMOSFloWorks in the
product development cycle can help you build a
better product in less time.
