hi, it is about license. do you have all of them? In fact, they are quite similar. I think CFX is pretty straight forward except that its pre-processor sucks as compared to Fluent. But its capability has been promoted a lot in new versions (CFX5). Fluent is bit more user-friendly, but you can have control for everything with CFX. hope this helps
