<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Hi, Carney</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Hope this can help.</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Dear all,</FONT> </P><BR>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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;</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>A) Large Scale City Analysis of wind turbulence and
velocity</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2 face=Arial>B) Internal and external analysis
(combined)</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2 face=Arial>C) CFD for Urban Design.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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. </FONT></P><BR>
