User Testimonials
	Autodesk CFD	NX CAM
Likelihood to Recommend	Autodesk 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.

Alternatives Considered	Autodesk 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 Incentivized RS radu stancescu IT Read full review	Siemens AG Powermill did not use model associativity or parametric so was not easy to respond to design changes but was good at toolpath strategies and collision avoidance Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Autodesk definitely saved money in our design process improved existing 3D models Incentivized RS radu stancescu IT Read full review	Siemens AG Good product for us to resell Sells itself due to nice integration within the digital twin bigger picture Incentivized Edward Wood Director of Business Development Read full review
