free cfd???

[BeNN93]

hi to everyone (I'm new to the forum) , since I couldn't find a way to download star ccm+, not even a free trial version , I was wondering first of all if someone could better address me on some page etc.
If there's no way then I'd like to have an open source soft cfd whose interface might be as close as possible to that of the above software.
thanks in advance:smile::smile:

I never did cfd analysis but I know of openfoam and this turn, talking about opensource software.

thanks for the answer , I downloaded bluecfd that should be an openfoam version (available only on linux) for windows ... however it is quite difficult to use luck but there are guides :finger:

openfoam, in one of its many variations for win or linux + paraview for post processing.

the learning process is still long: a few months for openfoam by itself (time to know it and set up qaulche template), years to become a cfd analyst.
