Hi all can someone tell me how much It gonna cost me as student to have FLUENT on my PC.. thanx

too much

You have to pay for the best. Feraris are also expensive. Needless to say newbie probably drives a Skoda.

e-mail at joonsang@aol.com to find out the price. He bought several CFD softwares including Fluent and he should know the exact price.

I don't doubt that there are students out there who can afford a personal license of fluent, of course is not my case. Comparing fluent with a ferrari?, well that's been a long time discussion I don't want to enter.

See the following thread; http://www.cfd-online.com/Forum/main...cgi?read=19685

If you need fluent for accademic purposal contact both your university and your local fluent distributor, maybe there could be some kind of accademic agreement,

good luck.

From my experience, the license costs appear to vary by user whether he/she is academia, industry, or government. I *believe*, though I'm not positive, that the academic license is several thousand dollars per year, but I do not know how many processors this will get you. Industry and Government licenses cost much more, of course. To get the academic license, I think the CFD professor in your Engineering/Science department has to make a request for the academic license for Fluent to run on Department/College/University computers only. I have not heard of anyone using Fluent on a personal computer, though some are able to telnet into University computers to use it, but I have seen this to be a rather slow process and really not worth it in the long run. People usually use the code on the computer or network it is licensed on. Good luck.

Guys I will use those in the computer lab..I changed my mind

As far as I know, it costs around US$4000 for University with 5 licenses. But it may vary depending on the country. For Industry or private ? probably four times.

Cheers
