Everyone knows the incredible feats football players can perform with their feet, but what about the physics behind all the fancy footwork?

With SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation, you can virtually test a ball’s flight path and see the science behind its amazing trajectory. Visualize anything you want to test, including the physics that make a ball curve and dip, to optimize performance and reduce physical testing.
