DRD's Introduction to ANSYS CFX in Workbench

This course provides an introduction to conducting computational fluid dynamic simulations in ANSYS CFX while completely embedded in the Workbench Environment. Workbench is the technology platform and user environment on which the next generation of ANSYS is based.

The course focuses on use of the Workbench product suite while conducting CFD simulations, specifically DesignModeler, CFX-Mesh, and CFX (Pre, Solver, Post).

The course devotes very little time to CFD theory and focuses on the use of the software through workshops to solve practical problems. Analysis types included in the course are generally turbulent with various functionality highlighted for each one - multiphase flow, transfer and fluid-structure interaction with ANSYS FEA, or moving boundaries, for example.

Most workshops use neutral geometry in the form of SAT or Parasolid files for starting points. DRD encourages the students to bring a SAT or Parasolid file with them to the training (preferably a model from their workplace) for a little testing and discussion of their own problems to solve. Although most exercises will use either a SAT or Parasolid file, DRD will also demonstrate the integration between the Workbench products and CAD systems including associativity.
