  Hello,
  
  Talking broadly, Fluent (Chapter 1: Introduction to Ansys Fluent) and CFX (Chapter 2: Overview of Ansys CFX) are the CFD software.
  Whereas ‘CFD-post’ 2.11.2. CFD-Post (ansys.com) is used for post-processing simulation results. Nowadays, EnSight Chapter 1: Overview (ansys.com) is widely used for post-processing.
  If you are talking about Transient Analysis (Structural and Thermal), they are performed in Ansys Mechanical: Overview (ansys.com)
  
  If you are not able to access the links, please refer to this forum discussion: How to access the ANSYS Online Help
  
  Thanks,
  Nikhil

  Transient is not a different CFD solver.
