Simio Simulation Software provides object-based 3D modeling environment which allows construction of a 3D model in a single step, from a top-down 2D view, before instantly switching to a 3D view of the system. 3D objects from the Object Library are then simply dragged and placed into the facility view of the model. All Simio model-building products directly integrate with Google Warehouse to allow access to a library of freely available 3D symbols that can add realism to the models.N/A

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.

Pros
Ansys
  • 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.

Cons
Ansys
  • 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.

Return on Investment
Ansys
  • 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
