Is there anyone who has more experience with DesignBuilder CFD?

This software package costs a whole lost less than many commercial codes, there should be a reason. I'm interested in hearing your comments.
Thanks.

Hello,

I have experience with DesignBuilder. The other software packages are more expensive because those work for several applications. The CFD of DB is mainly for HVAC and that's why the cost is lower.

The main advantage in my point of view is to have the energy simulation in the same tool and export those boundary conditions to the CFD module. Also, it's not necessary to recreate the same geometry.
