Ansys CFX vs. Autodesk CFD

The simulations obtained are very advanced, showing great results in the movement of fluids in the different states of which it is required to obtain an understanding of their movement dynamics. I obtained impressive and illustrative results of the thermodynamic properties that occur in said flow. Ansys CFX is an easy solution for doing multiple different types of analyses.

We use a lot of Autodesk software and of course Autodesk CFD package. Integration with Inventor is pretty good. Models can be open right away in Autodesk CFD. The software saved lots of time in testing some glass units so we didn't need to perform too many real tests. Also, we used the software to improve our designs.

• The GUI of Ansys CFX is pleasing to the eye and at the same time user friendly, making it a lot easier to identify the required fields.
• The numerical scheme is based on Finite Volume Methods. It supports multi-phase flows with no mass transfer.
• In the Ansys CFX, adaptive networking can be used for GGI interfaces and single domains without restricted physics.

• Analyze heat transfer
• thermal analysis
• helps minimizing prototyping parts

• One thing which I think they can do is provide flexibility to the user to modify the stuff inside the black box
• Sometimes the errors can be confusing. The geometry of design and meshing is sometimes troublemaking.

Incentivized

• more options in the software
• better reports
• better interface

We chose Autodesk CFD as the integration within Autodesk products is great. Also it's price was another element in choosing it. We really like the interface as it's very similar with Inventor and other Autodesk solutions. The mesh capabilities are very powerful and easy to be refined. Reports provided are easily created

• The interface of Ansys CFX is much neater than Ansys Fluent. I found it much easier to define materials and boundaries in Ansys CFX. Also, this will allow me to get much more accurate results compared to a simples Thermal transient analysis
