Pros
“Its complete documentation and well-described equations make it a valuable asset for any project, especially those involving multiphase flow simulation or critical flow of gas through tight restrictions. Despite these limitations, I still believe that Ansys Fluent is a valuable tool for simulating complex systems.”

“Ansys Fluent is especially helpful for simulating multiphase flows, such as gas-liquid interactions, and for modeling critical flow of gas through tight restrictions.”

Cons
“Modifications cannot be performed in the middle of the process, entire analysis should be performed again from the start.”

“The simulation consumes a lot of time and hardware RAM to provide results.”

Project Engineer

“Most of the time, the answers are actually more questions, which rather point on to 1 or 2 simple things or, a new question alltogether, making the whole process of going to the forum, quite useless. And if by any chance, the question is tricky enough, they direct to open the ticket, which takes another god knows how many days, with response that "I will get back to you soon" and this soon comes withint 1 month or so, not with answers , but with more questions.”
