SolidWorks can render animations, but an animation is typically 30 frames per second.

If a single frame takes two hours to render, you can see how long it would take to render a single second ( In this case, 60 hours per second )

You usually want at least 5 seconds of animation to see what's going on with the airflow.
So right there, we are talking 300 hrs or around two and a half weeks straight.

You can buy time on an online renderfarm and it will speed your renders up from weeks to a single day.

It's especially nerve racking when you have rendered nearly all of the animation and you get a crash at that last second - or that last frame !
