CFD++ review
Broad CFD and parallel HPC capabilities for complex engineering and research workloads.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
CFD++ is a general-purpose computational fluid dynamics suite for engineers and research organizations working with complex flow problems. It covers steady and transient, internal and external flows, including compressible and incompressible regimes, and fits teams that need more than a narrow flow solver. Windows and Linux support, alongside browser-based cloud access, gives organizations more than one way to run it.
Its breadth is the central draw: the feature set spans single- and multiphase flow, combustion, chemical and thermal non-equilibrium, conjugate heat transfer, radiation, and turbulence models including RANS and hybrid RANS/LES. Grid support includes structured, unstructured, hybrid, and overset meshes; moving meshes, six-degree-of-freedom simulation, and adjoint sensitivity analysis extend the scope further. Parallel computing across multiple cores and HPC systems makes it relevant for computationally demanding work. AWS Cloud Computing, MetaFSI, CSM++, and MIME are listed integrations.
Deployment can be cloud or self-hosted, and Metacomp describes its AWS-powered cloud CFD++ access as pay-per-use. Pricing is contact-sales, so teams should discuss costs directly with the vendor. Geometry preparation and mesh generation appear as separate Metacomp products, so buyers should clarify how those fit into their workflow. CFD++ is a strong fit for mid-market and enterprise teams seeking broad multiphysics CFD and HPC execution; teams wanting a published price or an all-in-one geometry and meshing workflow should compare alternatives.

- Supports combustion, heat transfer, radiation and moving meshes
- Scales across multiple cores and HPC systems
- Where it doesn't
- Pricing is handled through contact sales
- Geometry preparation and mesh generation are separate products
- Cloud CFD++ is pay-per-use
