Can you test out this free CFD software ?

[Cd]

I no longer have a computer.
That means I can't do CFD even if it were given to me.
I pinched pennies and dropped my internet, consolidated it all on this phone, and that's what I'm typing on.

There is this CFD software that appears to be a version of Open Foam, but with a GUI.
There is a free version available, and I was wondering what you all think of the software.

Here is a link : https://sim-flow.com/cfd-software/

And a download link :

I'm sitting on $600 of money and as soon as I get up the nerve, I'll have the first new computer in nineteen years. ...excepting the $70 Raspberry Pi 4 (It's pretty primitive, doesn't even have a system clock).

But I looked at that program. It's a come-on to a $7500/seat/year license. Only supported by Windows 10 (there's a tell). I'm not sure if there is a connection, but www.idealsimulations.com/simworks-free-cfd-software/# sez:

Two questions:

• Are you a moderator?
• Could you broadly hint at what the perceived slur was, because I don't use the-word-that-begins-with-N.

Cd: I'm about to bring an M1 Mini online. I lucked out, it Malaysian manufacture, rather than Chinese. (That's political, not racialist)
