FEATFLOW Alternatives

FEATFLOW is described as 'The program package FEATFLOW is both a user oriented as well as a general purpose subroutine system for the numerical solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in two and three space dimensions' and is an app in the education & reference category. There are more than 10 alternatives to FEATFLOW for Windows, Linux, Mac and Web-based. The best FEATFLOW alternative is COMSOL Multiphysics. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try Elmer or OpenFOAM. Other great apps like FEATFLOW are SimScale, Code_Aster, Code_Saturne and ANSYS Fluent.
