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.

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
