Greetings.

I am a student at the University of Wales Lampeter, doing a study on commication in the computing industry. in particular those sectors of the industry dealing with CFD, the software required and the hardware required to use this software.

I am particularly interested in what software companies are most popular, and how they convey there product to the scientific commity, and how various insitutions decide between various options.

In addition, how the hardware companies work with the software to make there products accessable to commity, and where and how they advertise.

If anyone has any advice that can be offered, it would be very much apprechated, either by email 'xxxthrawn(at)hotmail.com' or by replying to this post.

Many thanks,

Michael Dollin

Communication Lesson 1. Learn to spell.

In particular, learn the rule for "their" and "there". If you don't, your work will read like it was written by an oik.

Hi Bikini Girl

Can you send me your picture with bikini and machine gun in your hand. I will probably feel better and as a result get my CFD simulation right. Thanks in advance for your help.

Piss off, creep.

oh, that does not help! You can help me out here, you have the expertise.

CD-adapco maintains a headquarters in London. If you call them and tell them what you want, I'm sure they would make some time for you, especially if you made the trip in to see them. I realize London is not exactly around the corner, but it is a lot closer than Pittsburgh where the Ansys/Fluent people live. You might be able to get what you need over the phone.

If that isn't a reasonable start, then look up the offices of all the commercial companies listed in this forum and start calling or writing. Many of them have UK offices.

I hope my spelling is OK. This is a tough thread.

Hi Michael,

You can Check out GridPro as a meshing tool.And cadfix as a preprocessor to meshing. Sam

So Cadfix is an item of software that more easily allows you to share CFD programs you've run with other people/companies? By coverting it into a more accessable format? And Grid Pro is a sort of base software you need to run more complicated CFD software on?

So how did you find out about these items of software? Did you find them in magazines, references, websites? Refeared to by friends? If one wants to do some CFD work, where would you go to find the products?

Regards,

Michael Dollin
