(Udemy) ANSYS from Drawing to Results Visualization – CFD and FEA (Mahmoud A.A.M)
About Course
This free ANSYS course, offered through Udemy, takes you from drawing to results visualization, covering both CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and FEA (Finite Element Analysis).
Start with a solid foundation: This course lays out the essential fundamentals and basics of simulation and CFD in an engaging and accessible way. Learn how to use DesignModeler with high-quality, well-organized content and step-by-step examples.
Master meshing: Get a thorough understanding of ANSYS Meshing, with a structured approach that simplifies the process and guides you toward creating high-quality, structured hexa meshes. The course includes animated presentations for the meshing theory and three custom tools to optimize your meshing.
Solve real-world problems: Apply your skills to five real-world examples, including a special experimentally validated example simulating solar load. Use ANSYS Mechanical Thermal, ANSYS Mechanical Structural, and ANSYS FLUENT to solve these applications. One example features parametric analysis, showcasing the power of ANSYS Workbench and the diverse results you can obtain.
The course verifies the results of the first four examples through analytical calculations and empirical correlations. The final example is validated against experimentally measured data for a box solar cooker, using both experimental inputs and a solar calculator.
Practice makes perfect: Practice exercises are included throughout the course, helping you master the key concepts in each section.
