(Original )Information
What do you like best about Azore CFD?

What is great about Azore CFD is the user-friendliness of the interface. It doesn't matter if you are an experienced CFD user or a beginner; the software is designed to provide an easy workflow to set up the simulation and post-process the results.

One of the best aspect of this sotware is that it is very quick to download and install with no complex installation steps (at least for a single machine). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azore CFD?

For general purpose CFD application, Azore CFD seems a good choice. However, for validation studies (ie, turbulence modeling), more turbulence models could be included. On another note (on a purely aesthetic basis), the user interface looks like old software (windows xp style).

Even though tech support is very responsive and helpful, there is still a lack of online video tutorials. I am sure this won't be the case when more users download and start using the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being a beginner in Azore CFD, I have started by simulating simple geometries (ducts, pipes, symmetrical airfoils, etc.). Compared to other commercial software, Azore CFD allows much faster case setups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Robert Mudry of Azore CFD

Thank you for your comments and input. We will continue to add more turbulence models (k-omega SST was added in 2024) and also update our online tutorials. We are currently preparing an interesting tutorial featuring the fan curve boundary condition, where you can provide a fan curve and Azore will calculate the fan flow rate based on the pressure losses and distribution in the model. This is a very useful BC for HVAC studies. Please continue to check out our YouTube page as tutorials are added. The link is: https://www.youtube.com/@azorecfd/playlists

What do you like best about Azore CFD?

The AZOR-CFD tool is an appropriate CFD simulation software for novice users. User interface is simple and user-friendly, thus you start with the basic models without getting frustrated. With neatly organized tutorials, it is fairly easy for me to download and start immersing myself in the beautiful world of waterscapes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azore CFD?

Azore may speed up simple meshes but difficult shapes will not be easy to work with. But when it comes to the complicated designs, meshing tools will start to limit our capabilities. The words “therefore, sometimes, additional software” imply I needed to employ other software to initially develop the mesh before feeding it into the Azore’s environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Finding, installing, and using Azore's CFD software has been an indispensable tool for visualizing fluid flow in my design process. It really has allowed me to deal with certain possible drawbacks of a design at the initial phase, what makes the prototypes unnecessary. This interface goes along with an overall CFD that is user-friendly, easy to use even for those who are new to CFD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Robert Mudry of Azore CFD

Thank you very much for your comments about Azore. Regarding meshing, Azore is able to handle any range from simple to extremely complex and large meshes. These can be tetrahedral, hexahedral, polyhedral, or hybrid mesh topologies. Azore does not have a built-in meshing software, however, which allows users to utilize the meshing software of their choice. Meshes from software like Cubit, Ansys meshing, CFMesh, SnappyHex, and others can be imported, and these can be any size, topology, or complexity level.

What do you like best about Azore CFD?

A CFD As the Azore's best selling point is its processing power. It solves simulation of flows satisfactory, and therefore I can see in details all the things that happen, and operate with real life conditions. The software has an intuitive user interface too which helps in setting simulations and intuitively visualizing the results, the above-mentioned feature saves my time and efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azore CFD?

Due to insufficiency of something in the Azores CFD educational products the learning resources of Azores CFD are inadequate. Unlike others CFD software, it is bereft of extensive lesson tutorials and users guides. This can get really annoying for me, as a novice user, particularly when I appear at something totally unexpected or facing certain problems and don't know how to solve them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Azore CFD has developed itself as a helpful tool in my workflow pipeline now. It was superb capacity which overly helped in executing such deep simulations which was almost impossible in the past. The simplified interface impartially speeds up the process, enabling me to spend my time on reading out results and making the right design decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Robert Mudry of Azore CFD

Thank you for your comments about Azore and its benefits to your simulation workflow. Our developers strive to make the user interface intuitive and powerful to allow for efficient and accurate analysis of results.

Regarding your comment about learning resources and tutorials, I agree it would be great to have examples for all possible types of simulations and cases. We are constantly working to add more, so please check our website regularly. The base tutorial library that comes with the initial installation package is small (5 cases) so as to keep the initial file size down. But there are additional tutorials and learning videos available on our website and YouTube page. See the following links for these learning options, and feel free to contact our tech support with any additional questions.

Ease of use and import abilities. Also solution monitoring is not bad. Has the feel of a commercial solver, no additional use tutorials are needed its very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azore CFD?

Many models and settings not implemented yet. Attempted to use for actuator disk model which sadly wasn't available. Additionally many external flow simulations are not possible due to lack of SA and k omega SST models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I attempted to use Azore to confirm the results of a preliminary CFD code for a fan in wing configuration. The results of this were to be eventually published in a whitepaper with citations. The purpose of this was to showcase the company's ability to EVTOL customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Robert Mudry of Azore CFD

Thank you for your review of AzoreCFD. In late March 2024 we released a new version of Azore with the k-omega SST turbulence model. It has been fully implemented and is working well. There are a number of case studies now on the Azore website, including some very deep-dive technical discussions by Azore's lead developer. Check out this link for more information: https://www.azorecfd.com/blog/turbulence-modeling.

Also, Azore does have a moving reference frame model which could be applicable to your EVTOL application. I have used the MRF for fans, impellers and other devices on several projects.

I would be glad to provide another 30-day trial for you to check out the latest Azore.

What do you like best about Azore CFD?

- It is intuitive and straightforward enough to use that you won't feel lost when you try to take on your first project.

- Some tools like mesh checking and interface creation are very handy to try and troubleshoot your mesh.

- Technical support is top-notch. They will help and advise you throughout your simulations.

- Whenever you feel the need to automatize some simulation process or, for example, create an isosurface animation, you can code a JS script and run it through Azore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azore CFD?

- At the time of writing this review, although it will on future versions, it does not have transient capabilities implemented on the interface, which would be something quite useful for time-dependant simulations.

- It would be great if they uploaded some simple and advanced tutorials on their webpage to make it even easier to start with the software and its post-processing functions.

- Some other CFD packages include an unlimited number of cores with no extra cost in their Advanced version. In contrast, in Azore, you are limited to 32 Cores unless the Premium version is acquired. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

- Heat transfer problems (heat exchangers, radiation).

- Porous jump and media.

- Study of airflow caused by an air fan's pressure through a duct on a locomotive.

- Airflow optimization through different kinds of heat exchangers to achieve their best performance.

- Indoor air quality on a controlled space by CO2 particles tracking, and later isosurface post-processing and empirical correlation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
