Computational Fluid Dynamics has expanded beyond specialists to engineers and scientists across disciplines, prompting developers to create user‑friendly products that automate setup and solution. This paper explains the design and features of the CFD++ software suite. CFD++ provides a unified‑grid, unified‑solution, unified‑computing simulation capability built for user effectiveness.
Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD is no longer the domain of just specialists. It is also being used by engineers and scientists in many disciplines who are interested in CFD as a tool to investigate other things and not as just an end in itself. The realization of this fact drives developers to produce user-friendly CFD products that automate most of the problem set up and solution process. The CFD++ software suite is a unified-grid, unified-solution, unified-computing CFD simulation capability that was designed from the outset to be effective from the user's perspective. The details are explained in this paper.
