Why Custom Codes
Why Custom Codes
(OP)
I am not into CFD but just curious. Why do some companies use custom codes? What is it that the commercial softwares don't provide. When they say custom codes are these only subroutines to commercial codes or the entire pre, post processors along with the engine are written from scratch?

Many companies developed in-house codes, or borrowed codes and modified them from open sources, many years before commercieal CFD codes were around. A lot of work and time, and quality control (benchmarking to test data) of the legacy codes has been done, and similar efforts would be required to transfer to a commercial code.
