What do you like best about Ansys Fluent?

ANSYS Fluent is a great software for modeling, especially for anything related to fluid flows. I recently started using it for modeling and have been surprised by how perfect this modeling software is for any kind of engineering situation. It really has all you need to for building/importing models, setting parameters to match your situation, and modeling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Fluent?

It is difficult to learn. I'd suggest that taking an introduction class would be the easiest way to get started with ANSYS Fluent. The layout is kind of confusing at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Just engineering modeling. ANSYS is the best software available for the modeling we're doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
