Introductory training, Simcenter STAR-CCM+, online

Training overview

In this training you will learn the basics of Simcenter STAR-CCM+. You will learn how to navigate in the software and the fundamentals with this multi-physics tool will be covered both by theoretical session and also practical examples where workshops will be carried out by the participants.

The training will involve all necessary steps from setting up a simulation to running and analyzing the results. Going from 3D-CAD and geometry handling, to meshing, to solving to post-processing.

This training is perfect for new users of the software and also engineers that have some experience within simulations that want to learn best practices for CFD in Simcenter STAR-CCM+.

Duration: Four half-days (4 x 4h).

Level: Intermediate

Training content

• Session 1:
• • Volupe (about our company and how we can help you with your simulations)
  • CFD in general (theory about CFD and how the equations are implemented in the code)
  • Demo of simulation set-up (demo of what you can expect to be able to achieve on your own after the course – how to set up a simulation from scratch)
  • Creating a geometry in 3D-CAD (how to work in the integrated CAD software + workshop)

• Session 2:

• • Preparing the fluid domain in 3D-CAD (how to prepare the fluid domain in 3D-CAD + workshop)
  • Surface wrapping (automatic geometry handling + workshop)

• Session 3:

• • Meshing (how meshing is handled in the software + workshop)
  • Boundary conditions (how to handle BC and which type of BC are available)
  • Solver method and turbulence models & settings for continua (how this is implemented in the software)
  • Monitoring & Post-processing (how to evaluate your simulations)

• Session 4:

• • Setting up a simulation, from CAD to results (workshop)
  • Design manager (demonstration of design parameter sweeps)
  • Tools (tools within the software to customize your simulations)
  • Transient simulations (time dependent simulations + workshop)
  • Tips how to use the software (tips and tricks using the software)

Prerequisites

Engineering background (previous experience of CFD simulations will ease the learning process).
