I am not the best person to advise on how "useful" Khamsin is. You can have a look at the work done by Andy Laurence
Blog. He initially used Khamsin (looked for older post) and moved recently to Aerodynamic on Demand. These are two different front ends to more/less the same CFD engine/
The overwhelming feedback is that it takes a few hours and a bit of frustration to get the setup right with Khamsin - my apologies. See
CFD With Sketchup - YouTube for example.
Both of the above are unaffiliated.

If you have a bit of time, I would recommend watching one of the analysis video. A good one is:
CFD Modelling of a 250cc kart - YouTube or any other from the YouTube channel
http://www.youtube.com/user/HibouSoftware. Otherwise let me know and I can send you a pdf of the documentation/tutorial.
Sketchup vs Solidworks: I will doing a web presentation on some of the limitations of SketchUp for CFD applications that I have identified while using it in the future. A main one is its inability of properly handling curves... Best way to keep informed would be through twitter @HibouSoftware or Google+ (info@hibouscientificsoftware.com.au).
