![]() ) openFOAM almost instantly brings you respect of recruiters on the othehand. Managed to use turbulence models and get decent results while I was still learning Bernoulli equations. It's a very mature code and very reliable with such a strong support that you can use it with pretty much no prior knowledge of turbulence ( I know I did. Fluent is not a good measurement of competence unless you have done a real solid project with advanced features like AMR, UDFs, HPC etc. Keep this in mind, a lot of times recruiters look for familiarity with CFD packages / codes. Warning : only jump to openFOAM if you are comfortable with all the notions of CFD and understand the underlying principles. It has great community support and tutorials. I would personally recommend to give openFOAM a try. The problem is the software is hard to learn. You can try the tutorials but IMO they were pretty useless. I had a good network of classmates and professors using StarCCM so I was in luck. But if I had to do it on my own I admit I would be lost. I had lab sessions on StarCCM in uni as well as a follow-up project. Learning the software itself is a bit tricky. It is a bit more functional than FLUENT in some aspects but a bit more outdated in terms of others. Getting a starting point for StarCCM + is a bit hard.
