WORKSHOPS

(CEU/PDH certificates available, 4HRS)

In addition to the Forum the event will host a series of workshops and demonstrations. Attendees who choose to participate in these practical “hands-on” sessions will discover first-hand how easy it now is to get useful engineering insight from new software tools and user environments. Courses include:

Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics Using STAR-CCM

Advanced CFD Training with STAR-CCM+
