Introductory User Training in OpenFOAM® technology |
|
This 2-day course is aimed at CFD engineers with little or no experience in the use of OPENFOAM®. General pre-requisites for this course are that the trainees are assumed to have working knowledge of CFD and modelling processes. Familiarity of Linux as a working environment is beneficial.
Second day includes time allocated for discussion of trainees own cases.
Objectives of the training are:
- Provide an introduction to OPENFOAM® philosophy and customer support structure
- Provide an introduction to OPENFOAM® software tool kit
- Oversee trainees in performing the tutorial cases
- Provide an introduction to performing industrial simulations
- Provide an introduction to OPENFOAM® application programming interface (API)
