Introduction to
Ansys ICEM CFD

Course Overview

The purpose of this course is to teach the basic tools and methods for generating meshes with Ansys ICEM CFD Tetra-Prism and HEXA. The course presents best-practice meshing techniques and the tools required to efficiently generate high-quality meshes based on tetrahedral / prismatic and hexahedral elements.

Prerequisites

  • Basic knowledge of geometry and meshing principles.

Teaching Method

Lectures and computer practical sessions to validate acquired knowledge. A training certificate is provided to all attendees who complete the course.
