    The simulations obtained are very advanced, showing great results in the movement of fluids in the different states of which it is required to obtain an understanding of their movement dynamics. I obtained impressive and illustrative results of the thermodynamic properties that occur in said flow. Ansys CFX is an easy solution for doing multiple different types of analyses.

    For simulation of electrical and electronics circuits either in transient or normal mode or various other modes. To obtain plots between various circuit parameters and elements and also check values of various output parameters based on input parameters. It also has various examples in the library which make it easier to modify few params instead of designing circuits from scratch

    Pros
    Ansys
    • The GUI of Ansys CFX is pleasing to the eye and at the same time user friendly, making it a lot easier to identify the required fields.
    • The numerical scheme is based on Finite Volume Methods. It supports multi-phase flows with no mass transfer.
    • In the Ansys CFX, adaptive networking can be used for GGI interfaces and single domains without restricted physics.

    Cons
    Ansys
    • One thing which I think they can do is provide flexibility to the user to modify the stuff inside the black box
    • Sometimes the errors can be confusing. The geometry of design and meshing is sometimes troublemaking.

    • It's good but sometimes error during simulation won't be more specific
    • Has wide range of elements but some specifications aren't available
    • Nothing

    Return on Investment
    Ansys
    • The interface of Ansys CFX is much neater than Ansys Fluent. I found it much easier to define materials and boundaries in Ansys CFX. Also, this will allow me to get much more accurate results compared to a simples Thermal transient analysis
