Parametric Studies in SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation allow optimization or batch iteration of parameters - whether these are simulation parameters such as flow rate or the heat power of a heat source, or model parameters such as dimensions and mates. Three modes of operating the Parametric Study each serve different use cases: "What If Analysis", "Goal Optimization", and "Design of Experiments" and each are covered briefly in this tutorial.
