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?

I like multiphase and DPM modelling and Fluent adjoint solver. Batch runs and post processing techniques are very useful for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Fluent?

Adaptive meshing simulation takes more time. Also for heat source modelling, proper meshing is required and it is achieved after the good experience only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Ansys fluent solves simple flow problems to complex like rotating and mixing and multiphase ( two phase or more). It helps us to optimise the design and reduces prototype model and testing time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ansys Fluent?

Ansys provides a complete package to do CFD analysis, from modeling geometry, meshing, solver, post-processing and publishing your report. Ansys provides a seamless transition between it and other modeling and simulation tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Fluent?

Though modeling is easy and intuitive in Ansys, many times, it's challenging to create complex geometries in Ansys. Nevertheless, Ansys does provide the option to import complex geometries developed on other modeling packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have used Ansys Fluent in simulating the flow over complex configurations of vortex generators on a cylinder. Ansys Fluent results have helped me understand and analyze the best design for vortex generator and helped me cut down my experimental work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Ansys Fluent?

Fluent's many strengths lie with the number of flow models available, its robust hybrid mesher, and the accuracy of the solution techniques one can choose. Together these three make Fluent a true best-in-class CFD tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Fluent?

Workflow has always been one of the areas of needed improvement Ansys Fluent deals with. Also, along with great API flexibility comes added complexity (to said workflow). Ansys, for their part, has improved Fluent's workflow in general. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

ANSYS Fluent solves fluid-domain problems... very well. AND its coupling to Ansys Mechanical for FSI (fluid structure interaction) is good. Cumbersome but good. Fluent is a very robust tool for solving not only fluid-domain problems (steady state and turbulent and transitory) but also excels in the area of heat transfer.

What do you like best about Ansys Fluent?

Good processing speed and tools for the mesh are also good. The feature they offer for modeling is quite user-friendly and gives very ease to the worker. The solver is also good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Fluent?

The interface is not that attractive and it can use some modification in that aspect. When a quality check on the model is required the same thing causes a problem to locate the exact error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

there were several problems with various products we used this for. For the fluid lines to carry oil. For the thermal analysis underwater on the different pressurized components to see its failure under its life cycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
