Computational Fluid Dynamics

The training seminar on Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations using ANSYS Products will make you familiar with the fundamentals of modeling, meshing and analysis methodologies in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) using ANSYS Products.

A thorough understanding of the powerful and versatile modeling, meshing and analysis tools in ANSYS products viz., ANSYS DesignModeler, ANSYS ICEM CFD and ANSYS CFX is obtained by numerous hands-on workshops and exercises. Beginning with the modeling techniques in ANSYS DesignModeler and fundamentals of CFD, the course extends itself into the more complex hexahedral meshing tasks using ANSYS ICEM CFD and typical CFD analysis using ANSYS CFX in the following days.
