What do you like best about Autodesk CFD?

For me the biggest benefit of Autodesk CFD is the simple interface - compared to similar software it is relatively quick and intuitive to set up a simulation and get results. It is also super useful to be able to integrate with other autodesk software and pass models around between teams. Overall would recommend for a wide range of simple CFD work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk CFD?

Some higher level functions such as integrated calculations are not present, though not a big deal as can interface with other programs well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Autodesk CFD to simulate air flows through simple plenum geometries and are working towards including turbomachinery and fans into our simulations for optimisation work. The greatest benefit is the ability to develop and update model geometries quickly, and get results in a short time frame. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Autodesk CFD?

Pretty accurate fluid dynamics simulation, thermal simulations are pretty accurate as well, it covers a lot of scenarios and different types of sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Autodesk CFD?

It lacks the ability to edit the shapes, you will need a cad software alongside to try and edit the shapes you have then import them back in cfd. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Autodesk CFD:

You will need to have a cad software alongside cfd, it's pricey so make sure you need all the features it provides before buying it as other softwares are cheaper but do not have the same features as Autodesk cfd. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Mostly Thermal simulations to find the temperature of aome systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
