    Does anyone know the cost of an ANSYS license in Ireland? Mechanical Analysis software. Thanks.

    16,000 for bare bones CFX, so I'd expect the FEA to be somewhere around half that. but that's just a guess.

    IDAC Ireland are the ANSYS hannel partner in Ireland. Their website is www.idacireland.com. They can provide costs of the different ANSYS products

    Quick question off topic. Do you know the differences (strengths and weaknesses) of CFX versus more conventional fluid packages such as fluent?

    Very similar in capability. Both are now owned by ANSYS. CFX has been integrated into the new ANSYS Workbench Envirnoment (so easy to use and coupling with ANSYS structural software is easy). Fluent will be integrated in the next ANSYS release. Ultimately the 2 will be merged

    But both are using different numerical methods (Finite difference and Finite Volume) correct? I would imagine there would inherently be pro's and con's to each. I hear CFX is better stuff such as turbo machinery where Fluent has benefits else where?

    Atually, Just looking at some of the turbulence models on CFX it seems to be Finite Volume.
