Caveat is that it's limited to only 4 cores, which makes it even slower than the already abysmally slow full version. Have a look at FluidX3D, that does in minutes what Ansys takes months for, and it's free for non-commercial educational use, with public source code, and without any restrictions on hardware. Download size is 22MB :)
Thank you....but Im not a student. So what about non students ? Also, what is the catch - is it a 30 day trial ? You say the mesh size is limited. Can I run a test on a car model to test out modifications for drag reduction ? I know that OPENfoam is freeware and quite capable, but I'm a very visual person. I don't understand code. Big buttons that are on a basic U.I. is what I hope for. -Thanks
The only catch for Ansys student is the limit on the number of elements in your mesh. You don’t need to prove that you’re a student. It will work just fine for modeling the aerodynamics around a car body until you get into the very fine boundary layer analysis level, and will provide very helpful visuals to help you interpret the data.
@@dormroomengineering8689 That sounds great ! I'll give it a try. BTW, I noticed when you download, there are loads of other programs included. That explains the massive space needed. I'll have to ask them if there is a way to download just the CFD program.
Thank you. Please how I can reduce the number of meshes or if there is another solution to this error " [error] Setup1: Mesh size (64002 volume elements) exceeded Ansys Electronics Desktop Student limit.
That sounds like an element size problem with the student license. You’ll have to increase the mesh size be selecting mesh, and mesh size in the info box until the mesh no longer exceeds the maximum number of elements allowed in Ansys student
technically free but limited feature u can only create a mesh like 1 million cell yes for full scale fluent analysis it wont work especially marine model like ship it take more than 1 million cell

great >thanks
"Free Software Download"? Let me guess... It ain't FREE. Was I right?
Nope, 100% free. Ansys provides a completely free version of their software package for students with no login required.
