Training Courses: SolidWorks Flow Simulation Electronics Cooling

Hawk Ridge Systems provides a choice of 3 supplementary online courses that provide instruction in the use of the SolidWorks Flow Simulation fluid dynamics analysis software in advanced industry-specific areas. These 3-hour online classes utilize the latest in web training technology to build on the core analysis skills covered in the SolidWorks Flow Simulation 1-day class.

This course addresses the capabilities of Flow Simulation that are specific to the analysis of electronic and electric cooling systems. The 2-hour class covers capabilities that are available in every license of SolidWorks Flow Simulation, but a further 30 minutes of bonus content on capabilities available with the SolidWorks Flow Simulation Electronics Cooling (EC) Add-on module is included at the end of the session.

Class Duration:

3 Hour Internet Course

Recommended Pre-Reqs:

• 1 –Day SolidWorks Flow Simulation training class

Main Topics Covered:

• Analyzing cooling in a electronics/electric model
