Course Fees and Policy
View course details Course Description

This course is intended for people who have had little or no experience with FLUENT. New users of the software should register for the five-day training course which includes the following topics:

   
Day 1: Introduction to CFD and the FLUENT solver
Day 2: Physical models available in FLUENT
Day 3: Geometry and mesh generation using the GAMBIT preprocessor
Day 4: Geometry and mesh generation (continued)
Day 5: Customized training day for commercial users of FLUENT
   

On days 1 and 2, attendees will learn about CFD modeling procedures, setting boundary conditions, turbulence modeling, solving heat transfer problems and other details about using the FLUENT software program. Days 3 and 4 cover the use of our preprocessing tools (i.e. GAMBIT) for creating CFD meshes. Much of the time is spent working through tutorials on the computer.

For commercial users of FLUENT, day 5 is spent working with a support engineer in a one-on-one setting.

Please note, the training sessions in the Ann Arbor office are more focused on automotive applications and are therefore better suited for automotive clients. Other users are not discouraged from attending these training sessions, but should be aware that the training sessions will have an automotive focus to them. First priority will be given to the automotive clients. Non-automotive users should check with their assigned support/sales engineer to assure that training is appropriate for them.
