Fast is relative, Hemi vs. Hemi

When I took CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) in grad school Fall 2020 we used ANSYS Fluent. That's one of the big programs for simulating liquid, gas and heat flow. I wanted to do a 2D simulation of airflow over my Duster but couldn't find a model online and didn't feel like making one lol. For one assignment we had to simulate turbulent airflow over a passenger airliner, very cool stuff. These modern programs are extremely powerful.

SolidWorks is currently the most popular 3D modeling software for making parts and assemblies. Like AutoCAD but much better lol. I use it at work from time to time.

We used to refer to Autocad as Etch a Sketch. I'm still using Solidworks and have used it since it came out. Solidworks has embedded FEA, but that would get me real close. In the end, my models would be checked with ANSYS or the other big structural software (can't remember), then we would tweak the model to make it strong enough to do what we needed. I also used CFD thermal modeling a long time ago. Guys at work use fluid modeling, but that is a whole different thing.
