I need an suggestion as in which CFD software I should prefer. I have built a 3D model of a Steel Structure ( Solar Module mounting structure) in Solidworks premium 2011. Now, I would like to conduct CFD analysis on this. I don't have any Flow simulation software licence. Please suggest which software should I use.

PS: Meshing could be done in Solidworks Simulation itself.

Openfoam is a free, opensource CFD software.
But unlike Flluent, you may have to spend some time to learn how to use it

SU2 (su2.stanford.edu) is an interesting open source alternative to openfoam.

Best,
Francisco
