I'll buy and donate one item from the list. > What would be most useful generally?? I have copies of VisualCFD and HyperCFD. Both are seriously lacking in many ways. (I'll donate them if you all want to play with them and I can find them.) They are both severely limited in the shapes they can deal with.
