Course Schedule: Monthly
Cost: $3000

Who Should Attend

Any new user to the STAR-CD code or past user requiring a refresher course to improve their experience.

Course Aims

This course is an introduction to our Enterprise-Wide Solution which builds on basics of computational fluid flow and heat transfer from the ground up and adds value to the new user. During the first day, CFD Basics section covers governing equations, boundary conditions and gives guidelines on setting up of CFD models. During the week, the course is structured
to climb a gradual learning curve as we teach the straightforward processes we have developed for STAR-CCM+ and STAR-CD. We aim for users to leave this training ready to address their most common engineering challenges comfortably, confidently and productive.
