The article outlines best practice guidelines to choose the required software depending on problem and business requirements. I’m working as Manager-CFD in a private firm. My organisation never had simulation in their product design and development. I initiated simulation with only one Workstation and i’m the one who is using it. Our core business deals with automotive exhaust components and some vehicle power train components that involves air/gas flow. With future consideration and careful review of some well established software tools, i opted ANSYS CFX. The tool seems to be powerful.In context to this, i have ANSYS Meshing (AMP) tool for CFD Meshing and ANSYS Design Modeler for geometry modifications and fluid volume extraction. I’ve never used CFX before. I have some exposure to STAR CCM+ in my earlier organisation. I’ve learnt basic and intermediate functions in CFX and i’m executing projects one by one. Moreover, management has never invested too much money in procuring computer software due to which resources are constrained for the time being. I’ve given some results to the management convincing them about CFD Simulation that aids in accelerating product development. Still, they would like to see some more faster results but with available resources. I have only one license. I doubt that my management would invest some more money in HPC computing so that we could solve problems in parallel mode. Currently, i have 6 projects to experiment with CFX. I would appreciate if any one could give me suggestions as to how i could take this forward to the management to build a better team. Recruiting additional persons are allowed. However, resources have to be procured before we could opt for additional engineers to build the team. Now i’m stuck. Can anyone address these issues or share their experiences regarding scaling of CFD team and other potential benefits in terms of return on investment.
