Fluent 6
 
Can anybody tell me when Fluent 6 is released and which new features are available. I am particularily interested in modeling MHD.

Well personally I haven't used other codes, but if the blurbs on the other codes is realistic, Fluent's still got some strenghts, but will be playing catch up in some areas. I suspect they may have lost a bit of focus etc over the past several years.

I don't understand why they haven't done Fluent 6 in stages - add the multiphase capbility to Fluent 5, then add mesh generation, shrinking, expansion whatever in a subsequent stage. Small incremental steps sounds better than giant quantum leaps - which are more risky and might very well fail.

Perception counts for a lot, so that fact we are discussing this, can't be good from their point of view.

When I read the comments of the CFD academics about the death of fluent (see the main discussion forum) it ringed some bells on me.

Death of CFD in general, or death of FLUENT in particular? Sorry, I might have missed it!
