AutoDesk CFD Essential Training

Numerical approach is currently playing a vital role in the Research and Development of any field. It has also broadened the ideologies by easing the testing. Numerous solvers are available do the analysis in a time span and effort much less than it takes to test a prototype experimentally. AutoDesk Simulation is a toolbox for the development of customized numerical solvers. It began dominating the numerical world by its flexibility, power and open availability. It includes flexible physical modeling codes to deliver fast, accurate results across the widest range of CFD and multiphysics applications. In this course you will learn basic meshing, converting mesh, case setup, assigning physical conditions, choosing solver, schemes, solving in series and parallel, extracting results.
