Introductory Programming Training in OpenFOAM® technology |
This 3/4-day course provides knowledge to individuals and organizations who intend to modify or extend the existing features of OPENFOAM®. The objectives of the course are to introduce the OPENFOAM® structure (C++ based) and provide guidance on creating and modifying basic solvers and utilities via a series of lectures and hands-on tutorials.
General pre-requisites for this course are that trainees should have completed the Introductory User Training and be confident in the use of OPENFOAM®. Familiarity with C++ would also be beneficial. |
The courses above are also frequently provided on-site at customer premises (minimum numbers of trainees apply). For some customers, this is a preferred method of undertaking training. From a cost point of view, employees remain in the workplace, removing trainees travel and subsistence expenses. As the course is undertaken at corporate premises, out of the public domain, this is sometimes considered a more appropriate environment for questions relating specifically to bespoke processes which may be confidential in nature.
