OMG my learning curve just got one helluva lot steeper!
I just recieved from an aquaintance a copy of ANSYS ICEM CFD 5.0
Man is that gonna be an interesting tool once I figure out how to import stuff into it.
One of the reasons I got it was so I can investigate areas of high pressure around cowls for the purpose of installing cooling ducts, I figured it would make sense to put these things where high pressures naturally occur.
It's gonna be a pretty stiff task to get my head around some of this stuff though, I'm just finding out about it's limits as to the sizes of the meshes it can deal with.
The first one I tried to import was over 1 million triangles and it by default would not display it.
