Extensive ANSYS Fluent user for > 5 yrs, observing thrilling exp. completely on adifferent interface
What do you like best?
Modeling everything in a single interface. Although some settings are available for us to select at each and every stage, it is thrilling to wakefully understand the workflow and then assigning the settings one by one to achieve a proper model setup. Even though this may look time consuming, it is a plus point to understand at a deeper level consciously.
What do you dislike?
It takes a lot of time to setup a model at the starting stage, by diving into the interface and then understanding it. Sometimes, we even can select completely irrelevant settings for a particular problem which are not compatible or not applicable for a particular problem. For Example, we can select a separate region by providing a different solver scheme such as SIMPLE method, while we assign a different scheme such as COUPLED for a different region. Even though we have to assign same scheme for all the domains, this availability of multiple options can make us confuse or oversee few settings while we are in a hurry.
