Computational Fluid Dynamics

This training seminar will bring you familiarity with the various meshing techniques used for CFD applications using ANSYS Products. A thorough understanding of the powerful and versatile meshing tools in ANSYS products viz., ANSYS Simulation and ANSYS ICEM CFD is obtained by numerous hands-on workshops and exercises. Beginning with the meshing techniques in ANSYS Simulation and ANSYS ICEM CFD, the course extends itself into more complex hexahedral meshing tasks and hybrid meshes in the other days.
