On days 1 and 2, attendees will learn about the basics of CFD specifically geared toward CFX methodology, CFD modeling procedures, setting up physical models and boundary conditions, turbulence modeling, solving heat transfer problems and other details about using the CFX Product family. Day 4 covers the use of our preprocessing tools (i.e. ANSYS Meshing, DesignModeler) for creating CFD meshes together with best practises for using these for optimal CFD results. Much of the time is spent working through tutorials on the computer. A large variety of application specific tutorials are available to ensure that customers obtain the maximum benefit from these classes.

For commercial users of CFX, day 5 is spent working with a support engineer in a one-on-one setting or on lectures on advanced CFD topics.

This course also covers meshing techniques with the ANSYS/CFX meshing application and basic techniques in ICEM. Geometry building and cleanup in DesignModeler and connections to other CAD packages will also be covered in detail. Advanced CFD topics like turbulence modeling, multiphase flows, combustion, or turbomachinery will be covered depending on attendee interest.

We recognize that it is valuable for clients to begin building relationships with their JLR support team therefore, the final day of the course provides time for working on a CFD problem of your choice, side by side with a CFD engineer assigned to your team.
