SimFlow Alternatives

SimFlow is described as 'Powerful CFD software, focused on engineering and science. It combines an intuitive user interface with the advantages of the open-source OpenFOAM® libraries in something more than a compact OpenFoam® GUI' and is an app. There are more than 25 alternatives to SimFlow for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Web-based and SaaS apps. The best SimFlow alternative is OpenFOAM, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like SimFlow are COMSOL Multiphysics, dicehub, FEATool Multiphysics and ANSYS Fluent.
