Slamming and Seakeeping simulation of an yacht with CFD

It seems that Tdyn is the software used which has been produced by a spanish company "Compass". That's cool. What I don't quite understand is why software packages like gambit / fluent (by Ansys) is so popular in academic level since their interface is so crap and their function so problematic... What I'm saying is that it's a pitty that students in so many universities waste their time with gambit and fluent while apparently there are other similar software packages available... anyone with me?
