What do you like best about Ansys Fluent?

ANSYS Fluent is a well-known CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) Software in the industry. It's using by wide-range of companies from automotive, aviation, defense, marine, agriculture, chemistry, ...etc. industries. It has a well oriented graphical user interface (GUI). You can easily set the type of CAE analses and boundary conditions. If you need a quick setup for your CAE case, you should use text user interface (TUI). You should write your commands into a text file and execute on the computing cluster. That's the easy way to run an analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Fluent?

It's sometimes unstable and hard to find the errors. Sometimes I spent much time and resource when I try to identify the problem. Another pain point is that some opitons are not included in Graphical User Interface. You can find these options from TUI. So sometimes you can struggle with Fluent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Fluent:

You should learn to use Text User Interface for a better experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys Fluent solving and how is that benefiting you?

Text User Interface is the best and efficient way to use Ansys Fluent. You can get better resutls like a physical test with Ansys Fluent if you choose the right wall-function and turbulance model. It has a highly better correlation then the other most used CFD softwares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ansys Fluent?

It is very versatile and user friendly. It is good for beginners as the codes already supplied are suitable for most application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Fluent?

Since the code is already written, the users must read the manuals to understand and select correct conditions to get valid results. For instance, choosing symmetry and such conditions must be done with proper knowledge of the case simulated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Fluent:

Download the manuals, they are very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys Fluent solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have been simulating different models and after perfecting the models we can build the actual object. This saves extra cost of production and prototyping. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ansys Fluent?

Using ansys we can do many simulations, non linear, dynamics, etc.. I like doing simulation by applying different forces in different directions. I really like to test the component at what pressure it really braking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Fluent?

We want to know lot of fundamentals, without knowing the subjects (many basics) it is a big task doing simulation in ansys Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Fluent:

People who started career in designing field learn one simulation software. I prefer Ansys because it is giving good results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys Fluent solving and how is that benefiting you?

I created piston in CATIA and imported that part to ansys. I applied different pressures on the surface of the piston(like oil pressure on piston) and I found at what pressure it is crashing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Ansys Fluent?

It was an independent application emphasizing on modeling fluid behavior, but now it is fully integrated into the ANSYS Workbench, allowing designers to have a flexible workflow from drafting geometry to post-processing. It offers built-in functions to analyze the fluid-structure interaction. It allows to bring the easy drag-and-drop transfer of data and results to share between applications (e.g. to use a fluid flow solution as a boundary condition constraint of a subsequent structural mechanics simulation). Advanced scale-resolving turbulence models are also available: large eddy simulation (LES), detached eddy simulation (DES) and scale-adaptive simulation (SAS). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Fluent?

To realistically model the environment in ANSYS Fluent is not easy and parameters are needed to select very carefully. In addition, Fluent resources are not as many as other simulation software. Therefore, to complete a project, users probably need to trial and error for multiple times to get their results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Fluent:

It is a very useful tool to run simulations for fluid behavior. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys Fluent solving and how is that benefiting you?

Providing the structural inputs to the analysis of the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) between wind and wind tower structure and helping with understanding the outputs. The results from ANSYS Fluent show the additional forces should be considered in the tower structure design where is not commonly calculated from the static study.
