Ansys Fluent : Still Relevant or Time to Jump Ship?
Hello dear community, I have a rather divisive question here. We know how Ansys has revolutionized the concept of simulation and made it accessible to a global community of budding engineers. Ansys FLUENT is still considered an engineering standard in CFD in engineering universities around the world and is a very powerful tool with enough room to modify the code to your benefit, the applications being boundless. However, with the rise of competitors like Siemens Star CCM+, Hyperworks, Dassault Simulia XFlow, Cadence etc, Ansys clearly has enough competitors with some interesting features compared to it's CFD portfolio. My question here is: Is Ansys FLUENT/CFD Portfolio still relevant in an era of increasing competition with arguably better features or is it wise to learn other commercial softwares too apart from FLUENT also as a means to improve one's standing in the industry? I would be interested to see your views!! Thank you!!
