Self-Paced Fundamentals Training

Welcome to Autodesk Simulation CFD Fundamentals Training! The topics in this section cover the basic material everyone needs to know to use Autodesk Simulation CFD, including best practices and explanations of the fundamental concepts.

This material is designed for self-paced learning as well as an instructor-led class environment. In both methods, you will be exposed to concepts grouped in Chapters, followed by a demonstration of the use of those concepts (videos are available for self-paced training), then a step-by-step exercise to reinforce those concepts.

Training Plan

The Fundamentals Training is divided into four units. Each unit is divided into several chapters. To get the most from this Training, we recommend that you work sequentially through each chapter and unit:

UNIT 1: The Basics: How do I get started using Autodesk Simulation CFD?

UNIT 2: Setup: Describing the Problem and Solving

UNIT 3: Results: Gathering Data and Making Conclusions

UNIT 4: Design Exploration: Comparing Multiple Designs in one Environment

After finishing the Fundamentals Training, what do I do next?

After you complete the Fundamentals training, you will be ready to expand your knowledge of Autodesk Simulation CFD with Application-specific and Advanced topics. These topics deal specifically with the types of problems you will be solving, from electronics to pumps, from lighting to architecture, and advanced topics including motion, transient analysis, radiation, mixing, and more.

These topics are discussed in the Analysis Guidelines, Advanced Training, and Examples sections. Additionally, to learn more about customized training to suite your particular needs, please contact your local Autodesk Simulation CFD representative.
