Requirements

This course will take you through all the basics required in order to simulate simple CFD problems using ANSYS Fluent.

Geometry preparation will be covered using SpaceClaim.

Meshing will be covered using ANSYS mesher.

Solving will be covered using ANSYS FLUENT.

Post-processing of results will be covered using ANSYS FLUENT.

All these software are available inside ANSYS Workbench.

CFD helps to reduce the cost of products by saving time and money in prototype testing phase. Rapid prototype testings can be done by using CFD technology to predict the future behaviour of the product. It enables us to foresee any shortcomings in the product and rectify them before the actual manufacturing phase of the product. This is a young technology and can grow substantially in near future.

You will be able to draw CAD models using the dimensions of any given geometry. Then you will understand how to mesh the geometry in ANSYS to get appropriate results. Mesh size plays an important role in deciding the accuracy of your results. Assumption of boundary conditions is another important aspect in any CFD simulation. Replication of real-life conditions must be correctly implemented in the CFD boundary conditions. Finally good postprocessing of the results helps you to deliver your results successfully.
