Autodesk Simulation Multiphysics

Course Length: 2 days


This course will introduce you to performing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses on 3-D models. All of the available load and constraint options for CFD analyses will be covered. You will learn how to evaluate the results of CFD analyses and create presentations of the results, including images, animations, and HTML reports.

For information regarding the basics of the user interface, refer to the Autodesk Simulation Mechanical Part 1 course and Seminar Notes, which is a prerequisite to this course. The program Help files may also be consulted for basics not covered within this training course.
