Yup! Good eye Stephen! Our full time analysts use Fluent--I do more structures work (ANSYS FEA) but like fooling around--er, TRAINING with FloWorks!

Hi all, We use Fluent and CFX for our little jobs (< 3million nodes), and a home-grown code for the real ones (30-50 million) on 32-128 processors....

Compute straight and true!
