Who is the course for

This course is designed for those interested in the analysis of fluid motion. Basic knowledge of the ANSYS interface is beneficial but not required. Prior knowledge of fluid mechanics and general FE modelling is particularly useful.

Duration

3 days

Course Aims

• To analyse 2-D and 3-D flows to evaluate velocity and pressure distributions.
• To calculate heat transfer coefficients and transfer them to an ANSYS/Thermal model.
• To calculate fluid pressures and transfer them to an ANSYS/Structural model.
