Dear users, admins, moderators and ANSYS employees,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
May I kindly ask firstly how we can keep ourselves updated about the fates of the software we are the most familiar within ANSYS?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And what is the fate of Icem CFD? I have been using this software ever since I did my first CFD study and I am still amazed by how effective a tool it can be after a long-term experience simply because you can block structure a geometry and avoid a lot of mesh-related issues afterwards. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But now I see mentions of Icem CFD in posts in which people recommend an “upgrade” to other meshing tools such as ANSYS Meshing and Fluent Meshing. Moreover, even though those options receive a lot of updates and bug fixes, Icem CFD does not seem to change anymore. You can simply see this by checking out the interface. I am an experienced and a fast user of Icem CFD and I want to keep on meshing the geometries in a block-structured manner. I have tried both of the other options and I saw a steep learning curve because they were unable to give me the mesh in the time window I had. Too many skewed cells, many options not user-friendly at all to people who know even a lot about meshing, and who attempted to use them in a few simple cases. I know that there is a big scientific community using actively Icem CFD and I guess it would be very beneficial for all of us to know what the future holds for CFD grid generation.<\/p>\n

Kindest regards<\/p>\n
