Multi-DOF Analysis

Course Duration: 0 Days

Who Should Attend

This course is intended for any engineer involved in the analysis of the motion of rigid bodies whose motions are controlled or influenced by the flow around and/or through them. Examples include flow-induced piping vibrations, aerospace vehicles and rotating machinery. Prior experience with STAR-CCM+ is helpful, but is not required.

Course Description

The course begins with a lecture describing the type of applications that can be treated using multi-DOF analyses, and the STAR-CCM+ capabilities available to support such analyses. This is followed by two (or three, time permitting) workshops illustrating the use of these capabilities.
