Open source for FE / Fluid Analysis?

Click For Summary
Open source options for finite element (FE) and fluid analysis are being sought for simulating icing and melting processes in ice storage systems. Autodesk CFD is suggested as a viable tool, especially since it is free for students and personal use. Additionally, resources like the FEniCS project are mentioned for open source finite element method (FEM) tools. The user plans to utilize CREO's student version for geometry modeling. These tools can aid in analyzing the effects of different shapes and coolant energy requirements in the simulation.

Hi! I'm would like to ask if there's any open source available for FE/Fluid analysis?

I'm planning to use it to simulate icing and melting process in a ice storage based on different geometry.Its something like a fridge with coolant ect. I would like to simulate the icing and melting process with the consideration on the different shape(where the icing occur) and in consideration of its coolant and energy needed. For the geometry/shape i would be able to use CREO student version to work with.

Thread 'What mathematics software should engineering students use?'

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
