Hi everyone

My company is planning to purchase a cfd package. Between ansys cfx and fluent which one do u think is better with respect to following topics ..

- Multiphase/free surface flows

- Turbulent models

- Rotating body (propeller, turbine etc) problem (MFR, sliding mesh)

- Combustion

- FSI

- Convergence of solution and time consumed for steady and usteady cases

- Dynamic meshing and regid body motion.

Thanks and regards Manoj

CFX I am not sure about others. I am currently using FLUENT user but literature and past experience seems that CFX is better.

I think there is not general diffrence bitween them because many equation are same. I use Fluent and it is good software. you can compare two software when you use them(CFX and Fluent).
