Ansys Fluent Overview

What is Ansys Fluent?

Ansys Fluent is the industry leading computational fluid dynamics, or CFD software, renowned for its advanced physics modeling capabilities and outstanding accuracy. As a general-purpose CFD software, Fluent can be used to model fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, chemical reactions, and more. Fluent offers a modern, user-friendly interface that streamlines the CFD process from pre- to post-processing within a single window workflow. Fluent is known for its advanced physics modeling capabilities, which include turbulence modeling, single and multiphase flows, combustion, battery modeling, fluid-structure interaction, and much more. Also known for its efficient HPC scaling, large models can easily be solved in Fluent on multiple processors on either CPU or GPU. Multiple solver options are available, including pressure-based and density-based CPU solvers to cover low-speed to hypersonic flows and a pressure-based native GPU solver.

What do you like best about Ansys Fluent?

It's good at generating meshes and running simulations on different types of fluids in different environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Fluent?

It's less intuitive than ANSYS as a whole. It requires more guidance and more boundary conditions. Searching for where and how to put these boundary conditions can be difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is helpful in running simulations on products that we are developing. Fluent gives helpful insight into how a fluid will behave in a system that we are looking into. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ansys Fluent?

I think it's by far the best, complete CFD program out there, with features for both steady state and dynamic simulation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Fluent?

Mesh sizing and computational time. Also the error warnings doesn't always show what's wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Fluent:

A must learn if you like fluid modeling. Good but it's not a magic software, you need to truly understand the dynamics and how boundary works before relying on the results. I find students that just take a good converge result as a good modelling without considering how something logically works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Any flow computational issues that need to be confirmed for projects before investment decision Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ansys Fluent?

The best of ANSYS is the speed of create a net of elements constituents of a fluid, and the properties that provides to us in determinates conditions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Fluent?

To make the fluid gradient is necesary the density of the fluid that the software not provides, is the user who enters this property which can generate errors in the simulation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Fluent:

The best to people that works with fluids and gases, to make and know all the properties of the substance in any condition, it has tutorials to the beginners and many toolbar for a easily work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

ANSYS provides a lot of properties of a fluid in determinate conditions that helps in a proyect of engineering, phisychs, chemistry, and more. This finite element processor for solving mechanical problems includes: analysis of dynamic and static structures (both for linear or nonlinear problems), heat transfer analysis and fluid dynamics, as well as acoustic and electromagnetic problems.

What do you like best about Ansys Fluent?

The ability to integrate multiple functions like designing, meshing and analysis in one single package and esp their CFD is very impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Fluent?

The processing times for bigger files is way too much esp if the mesh size is so small. I would also want to more results in structural aspects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Fluent:

For CFD Ansys is the best software, though COMSOL offers better user interface but to understand the CFD , this is better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ansys Fluent?

The ease of building models, and importing files from other design modelers is fantastic. With the acquisition of Fluent , Redhawk, and HFX this software covers all the basic needs and desires that a simulation/design engineer would need. The software can also be split into each of its subcomponents to more accurately meet the specific needs of the user without the requirement to purchase subscriptions to the entire library of tools.

Learning and tutorials are fantastic ways of getting going in the software, and can teach quickly what the user needs to know. There is also a searchable online resource for help and technical support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Fluent?

The software's capability of accurately describing the contact of materials and components is very difficult to design. The friction coefficients and sliding ability of components are very much dependant on the settings and the accuracy of the material models that are built in the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ansys Fluent:

Can be used as a full software suite with all the bells and whistles or be degraded into each separate tool dealing with magnetism, mechanics, fluids, or multiphysics analyses. Be sure that the proper tool is purchased for the required needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Simulation of real work environments during the design and evaluation process to mitigate and predict failure of components. Removing the need for design, test, redesign iterations in the engineering world and manufacturing realm of engineering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
