Hi everyone.

I am curious with aerofoil analysis using CFD especially for bridge deck. Can anyone tell which FEA can predict Cd, Cm, and Cl with/out turbulent: Ansys Flotran, Ansys CFX, Cosmos Flowplus, Abaqus and Fluent.

Your help will very be appreciated. Thank you.

RE: Which one of these FEA can predict Cd with turbulent ?

Fluent can do Cd, Cm, and Cl with and without turbulent
flow but it is not FEA but FVM (finite volume method).

Thank you for replying Ekmedzic..
I dont know what spec that any CFD could do Cd calculation ?
Does it mention on brocure or something ?

COSMOSFloWorks can do what you need if you have SolidWorks.  Otherwise, EFDLab is essentially the same as COSMOSFloWorks for users of other CAD programs.
