Autodesk CFD Essentials Training
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and thermal simulation tools will help you to predict product performance, optimise designs, and validate product behaviour where a fluid or gas flow is playing a crucial role. Electronic cooling, pressure drops in equipment, or even simulating the natural ventilation inside a building are all examples where CFD simulation can help you to optimise the design.
This course is an introductory course focused on teaching the fundamentals of CFD using Autodesk CFD. Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to set up, solve, and diagnose their own Fluid Dynamics Analyses in Autodesk CFD.
Learning Objectives:
• Visualize the fluid flow in and around your design.
• Optimize your design by reducing the turbulence.
• Gain a better understanding of the aerodynamic challenges in automotive and aerospace.
• Design high-density electronics which run cooler, and last longer.
• Calculate the forces acting on your product by fluid flow.
• Gain confidence in your thermal and fluid flow analyses.
• Spend less time troubleshooting meshing and convergence errors.
• Develop a test strategy, to spend less time and money in the lab.
Duration:
12 hours (3 days)
Who should attend?
