What do you like best about Autodesk CFD?

Like all Autodesk products, it has a beginner-friendly UI and a gentle learning curve. The automatic meshing option makes it easier to focus on post-processing and results for simple fluid flow scenarios. Autodesk customer support delivers and the user community is fairly wide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk CFD?

With limited solvers and meshing capabilities compared to industry standard software like ANSYS Fluent and Star-CCM+, it leaves much to be desired in complex flow modeling. That makes Autodesk CFD my 5th choice when dealing with CFD simulations in the automotive, biomedical, or aviation sectors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Autodesk CFD solving and how is that benefiting you?

Autodesk CFD helped generate preliminary flow results for an HVAC system without complex meshing and setup tasks, thereby cutting down lead times for design iterations when model fidelity was not the main focus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Autodesk CFD?

The ability to use raw native files is the first feature of Autodesk CFD that I find appealing. It doesn't need to be converted to a STEP file. It works well with Autodesk Inventor as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk CFD?

There is a tool that is gaining popularity, however it lacks the ability to handle sophisticated physics that other competitors do. Integration with other commonly used software appears to be a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Autodesk CFD solving and how is that benefiting you?

Autodesk CFD offers powerful and accurate simulations for fluid flow, heat transport, and thermal analysis. It employs modern computational algorithms and turbulence models to precisely forecast and evaluate complicated flow processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
