"Multi-physics coupling with Fluent"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Ansys Fluent?

Robustness of solvers, features for various turbulence flow models, great compatibility with other meshing tools, Recently introduced multi-GPU features is something making it unique, Mulit-physics features joined with fluent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys Fluent?

GUI is not that interactive, comparatively setting up a model in fluent is more tedious and difficult to interpret especially for complex problems, Multi-physics coupling features are not straightforward and require further complicated and relatively more number of steps to setup and couple multiple physics.
