CFD AnalysisHi, Carney
If you want to do those jobs, you'd better to have a cluster or at least a work station to minize the computing time. There are a lot of commercial CFD software which can fulfill your purposes, like FLUENT and PHOENICS etc.. I do not ever try IES-VE though.

Hope this can help.

Dear all, 



I am writing to you to ask for your personal preference on which CFD software package I should use for all the following (as one) and your reason why;

A) Large Scale City Analysis of wind turbulence and velocity 
B) Internal and external analysis (combined) 
C) CFD for Urban Design. 

Currently we use IES-VE for CFD analysis but from what I've heard, the general consensus is that, it may not be near accurate enough. In addition, the computational time is far too long.
