Hello everyone,
Is there anyone who can tell how long/ how difficult is to switch from using Ansys CFX to Star CCM+ ? I have been using CFX for water flow simulations with heat transfer since a long time, and i am well familiar with it, now i am miving to another place where they are using Star CCM+, how easy will it be to learn all new stuff like preparing a mesh and setting up a simulation/ postprocessing? Is the interface so different?
Thanks in advance
Sam

Interface is different, but all the theory and the way stuff works is the same. You'll spend most of your time saying things like "In CFX it was called this, what is it called now in Star-CCM?"


Definitely not difficult to transition. It's just certain idiosyncrasies will make you yell inside. It's like moving to another country and the signs when you are driving on the road look, a little different.
