ANSYS Fluent Alternatives for Mac
ANSYS Fluent is not available for Mac but there are plenty of alternatives that runs on macOS with similar functionality. The best Mac alternative is OpenFOAM, which is both free and Open Source. If that doesn't suit you, our users have ranked more than 10 alternatives to ANSYS Fluent and 11 are available for Mac so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement. Other interesting Mac alternatives to ANSYS Fluent are Elmer, SimScale, COMSOL Multiphysics and CFDTool.
OpenFOAM is the leading free, open source software for CFD, owned by the OpenFOAM Foundation and distributed exclusively under the General Public Licence (GPL).
OpenFOAM vs ANSYS Fluent opinions
most powerful alternative but unfortunately it has a steep learning curve and is time consuming to work with even after learning. it will be the best if it has a graphical user interface (GUI).
Elmer is an open source multiphysical simulation software mainly developed by CSC - IT Center for Science (CSC). Elmer development was started 1995 in collaboration with Finnish Universities, research institutes and industry.
SimScale offers a software that allows you to perform CFD, FEA, and Thermal simulations to your CAD model in the cloud without needing high-performance computing power.
SimScale vs ANSYS Fluent opinions
It is a service based on OpenFOAM and CalculiX, that are considered good alternatives, and it has free-of-charge usage option (with limitations).
