Cost of CosmosFloWorks?
(OP)
Does anyone know the cost of CosmosFloWorks? We have called our VAR for a 30 day trial. He said it was a lengthy process to get the trial of CosmosFloWorks. We do not do air flow enough to justifying the purchase of $1000’s. The VAR is going to set us up with a consultant.

... or your VAR
Last time we used a consultant it cost about $1,000 and the results were inconclusive. More iterations were to be extra cost.

FloXpress, new to SolidWorks 2008, is a fluid flow analysis tool for the engineer who needs flow analysis, but is not necessarily an expert in the field of fluid simulation.
Might be worth upgrading when available.

We are also looking into CFDeisgn. It uses Solidworks parts/assemblies, but runs exernal to Solidworks. We were quoted 15K for purchase of CFdesign + 1600 for classes. They will hopefully also quote contract work.
Am I the only one who sees CF software as high priced for what it promises. Any result still needs to be confirmed experimentally, and at best, the software relys heavily on a skilled operator making the right decisions.
I am begining to think the only way I will recieve any satisfaction doing Computational Flow is to take a class at a university that has access to the software as part of the class. Maybe contract a student to do the project as part of their education.
