CFD-FASTRAN Introduction

Fluid Dynamics

Reference: CFD-F-B

Level:

Basic

Duration:

3 days

Audience:

Engineers and physicists wishing to use computational fluid dynamics for their applications

Objectives:

Day 3:

One-on-One with Customer Issues/Problems, and Interaction with CFD-ACE+ Developers if needed

We encourage customers to send problem descriptions and/or sketches to ESI Group at least one week prior to the training. This will facilitate the setup of your cases on this open day of training, and allow us to arrange meetings if necessary with ESI Group developers to discuss specific capabilities and modeling issues.
