Grids, Numerics & Parallel Processing

FLUENT uses unstructured grid technology, meaning the grid can consist of elements in a variety of shapes such as quadrilaterals and triangles for 2D simulations and hexahedra, tetrahedra, polyhedra, prisms and pyramids for 3D simulations. Sophisticated numerics and robust solvers ensure FLUENT's accurate results. Mature parallel processing capabilities, available on NT, Linux, and Unix platforms can be used on multiple processors of a single machine or multiple machines on a network.
