I'm currently searhing for a magnetohydrodynamics simulator to study how different molten metals interact with variating magnetic fields, is there any free (preferebly) simulator that someone recomends in particular?
And also, is there any way to use Autodesk's CFD to create a MHD simulation?

There are a few free MHD software options that you could consider for your study. One popular choice is OpenFOAM, which is an open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software that also has MHD capabilities. Another option is MHD-ES, which is a free MHD simulation software developed by the European Space Agency.

As for using Autodesk's CFD for MHD simulations, it is possible but it may require additional customization and coding to incorporate the necessary equations and models for MHD. It would be best to consult with Autodesk support or experts in the field to determine the feasibility and requirements for using their software for MHD simulations.
