Getting Started with Ansys CFX Software: Basics (Self-paced Learning Available)

Course Overview

Ansys CFX® computational fluid dynamics software is an industry-leading, general-purpose computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool used to model fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, chemical reactions, and more.  

In this course, you will learn how to use the Ansys CFX software to perform basic CFD simulations. You will start by learning the general CFD simulation workflow and the Ansys CFX User Interface. Next, you will learn in detail about the various aspects of Ansys CFX software that help you simulate fluid flow problems, such as physics setup, solver setup, post-processing solution results, best practices for accurate CFD simulations and much more! 

Prerequisites

  • Introduction to Ansys Workbench
  • Introduction to Ansys SpaceClaim for CFD  
  • Introduction to Ansys Meshing (CFD) 

Teaching Method

Lectures and computer practical sessions to validate acquired knowledge. A major emphasis is placed on teaching by software demonstration and on the development of a solution to a design challenge from start to finish.
