Hey guys I am new to CFD and really confused where to start from. I am trying my hands at Gambit. Is it easy to learn or I should go for some other software.I have about a months time.

A month's time for what ?
Do you want to just do a projct or learn proparly CFD.
If your answer is latter first you should learn some theory and then start with projects.
