Simple compared to what? Multi-body dynamics is difficult enough and fluid dynamics is even more difficult IMO with so many partial derivatives and long convoluted equations (also have a BS in Mechanical Engineering). We were always taught to NEVER trust software if you can't do a "simple" hand calculation to back it up. Software makes things easier/quicker to not only get answers, but to get WRONG answers if you messed up.
