Software for fluid visualisation

AI Thread Summary
For fluid motion simulations, Fluent and OpenFOAM are popular choices, with Fluent being noted for its advanced capabilities but higher cost. Users are encouraged to explore other ANSYS CFD programs for potentially more accessible options. The discussion also raises the question of whether CATIA can be utilized for fluid simulations. Additionally, understanding the specific type of fluid and flow problems to be modeled is essential for selecting the right software. Overall, there are various software options available for beginners in fluid visualization.

hi, I'm lookin for some good computer package for fluid motion simulations.

i'v come across Fluent and OpenFOAM.
is there any other good program that i should work on?!
i'm a kind of new to this. so some basic program will do it for me.
is there anyway i can work it out from CATIA?

thank you in anticipation!

FLUENT is probably the best (and most expensive), however, ANYSYS has other CFD program that will work for you.

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
