I'm looking at doing CFD, specifically air over a curved surface (Coanda effect simulation). XFlow looks perfect but I didn't see any demo/purchase information. Realflow looks like it may be good as well. My question is, can I use models built in Solidworks with these programs? How difficult is it to setup an analysis (I do not mind putting the work in, but I am not a phsycist - nor do I play one on TV)...

Also, I don't "plan" on doing anything with 3D as a result. Simple 2D output is enough.

Thanks for any and all help.

Certainly with realflow you wil need an intermediate program. that can deal with meshes. like studiomax or c4d

so solidworks to studiomax to realflow to studiomax then to render.

well thats how i understand it

I'm not going to render... just model...
