Hi all i need to model the following tube bundle in solid works to work out the pressure drop across it in flow works. unfortunately i know very very little about solid works. question is this. can anyone give me some v.good advice about how to do it? or alternatively can anyone do it at short notice for some decent sized beer tokens?!

next question. how do i upload a picture onto this site?!

Depending on what it is a might be able to help.
Have you got a model, and do you know all he parameters needed?

no model as yet, just pictures of bundle and flue. plus all available dimensions. have you used flow works for pressure drops before?

I don't think i've done pressure drops, can't remember tbh. I think i know how to though, depending on the model specifics.
I've PM'd you my mail address, if you send me the pic and dimensions i'll see if i can knock something up.

Is the geometry so complicated you can't just work out the pressure drop with, ya know, maths?

In fact if you google 'pressure drop calculator', or something, there are probably loads of online calculators to help with that.
