I thought that I\u2019d write a quick post for current users of SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation who are looking for a more advanced tip.<\/p>\n

Say\u00a0I have an\u00a0example where there is a water channel flowing constantly to cool the plate above it that is heated by a thermostatically controlled source. Thus I would need to first develop the flow field inside the channel, so I set up a separate steady state project to do this. \u00a0But since the heat source is controlled by a thermostat, the power will turn on and off in time so I need to run this as a transient solution. \u00a0How do I run\u00a0a Transient problem when I need to start with some steady results?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The key to the problem is changing from \u201cUser defined\u201d to \u201cTransferred\u201d<\/strong> in the Parameter Definition option of \u201cInitial and Ambient conditions,\u201d see image below. \u00a0This is done either done through the Wizard (when initially setting up a problem from scratch) or in the General settings (when the study has already been defined or cloned). \u00a0You may not have known that you can change this option, but if you click on the box that reads \u201cUser defined,\u201d you\u2019ll find that a down arrow on the right-hand side tell you there is a menu to select from so this is where you\u2019ll see \u201cTransferred.\u201d \u00a0You have the option of either starting from a named project or from a results file (where you\u2019ll have to Browse\u00a0to the correct steady state project folder number). \u00a0My preference and recommendation is to descriptively name projects so that you\u00a0know exactly which project to select.<\/p>\n
