The course
From your first mesh to your first fully solved CFD problem, build the skills to model, simulate and understand real engineering flows.
In short
CFD is more than learning where to click inside ANSYS Fluent.
To solve an engineering problem correctly, you need to understand the complete simulation workflow: preparing the geometry, generating a reliable mesh, setting up the physics, achieving convergence, and interpreting the final results.
This course takes you through every stage of that process, combining fundamental concepts with hands-on engineering projects.
The workflow
Recorded, in order, one stage after the other. Every lecture unlocks with either option below. Tap a stage to close or open its lectures.
Learn to sketch, dimension, and build geometry using SpaceClaim’s drawing and editing tools. Import existing models, modify shapes, and work with assemblies. Apply these skills to prepare the geometries used throughout the course’s 16 engineering projects.
Build the geometry. Prepare the model. Start the simulation correctly.
Understand how meshing works and how mesh quality influences simulation accuracy. Explore mesh methods, global and local sizing, refinement, and inflation layers, including boundary-layer resolution and y+. Apply these techniques to create suitable meshes for the course projects.
Understand the mesh, don't just generate it.
Understand the solver fundamentals and learn to define materials, physical models, and boundary conditions. Select numerical methods, adjust solution controls, and monitor convergence. Apply these skills to flow, heat transfer, turbulence, multiphase systems, combustion, and moving-mesh simulations.
Set up the physics. Solve the problem. Trust the results.
Visualize simulation results using contours, vectors, streamlines, and animations. Create custom surfaces, expressions, and graphs to extract numerical data and compare different cases. Interpret fluid-flow and thermal behavior to turn your results into meaningful engineering conclusions.
Turn simulation data into engineering decisions.
