#  We Simulated a Pro Soccer Kick. Here’s Why It Bends.

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.
