Practice-Oriented Meshing in Ansys Fluent
With the Fluent Meshing Watertight Workflow
Learn how to prepare geometry data and use Fluent Meshing to generate a completed mesh in just a few steps - even for complex assemblies. This training is offered as a 2-day course or alternatively as a self-paced eLearning course.
Duration
2 days
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of Ansys Fluent
Software used
Ansys CFD
- Quickly mesh complex geometries with Mosaic Meshing
- Learn workflow-based methods in a consistent interface
- Wrapper technology to mesh faulty geometries
- Easily create polyhedral grids and boundary layers
Description
Fluent Meshing, a comprehensive meshing software, provides a closed graphical interface for the creation of high-quality, reproducible computational meshes. With the workflow-based method, you can efficiently prepare and mesh geometries. The hybrid surface and volume meshing allow for the handling of complex components.
Are you involved in development, modeling, or research and regularly simulate components with external or internal flows for your products? Then, in this course, using real geometry examples, you will learn how to mesh your geometries easily and time-efficiently - even for complex components.
This training provides a quick introduction to Fluent Meshing and offers practical tips for working with connected assemblies. You will learn how to efficiently mesh internal and external flow problems, allowing you to start interpreting and analyzing the results more quickly. Moreover, working with connected assemblies and extracting the flow volume is presented in Ansys. We focus on the “Watertight Workflow”, which is ideal for meshing sealed solid assemblies. The activity blocks/tasks in Fluent Meshing and the processing of geometry from external sources are also covered.

Whether eLearning, classroom courses, live online training or customized workshops - together we identify the best option for you.
Do you have questions on the training or the eLearning?
If you book through your university, you will receive a 50% discount on the stated fee on training courses and eLearning courses.
For more information on the validity and how booking with the code ACADEMIC50 works, please visit our page on training for academic users.
Straight after you sign up, an automatic confirmation of receipt will be sent to the email addresses you provided. Once you have successfully verified the data you provided, you will receive your personalized sign-up confirmation, containing further information on course fees, the billing address, etc., by email within two to three working days.
As soon as the minimum number of attendees has been reached, you will receive a final training confirmation containing further information. If you have booked an on-site training, we recommend that you wait until you have received this final confirmation before booking your travel and accommodation.
If the minimum number of attendees is not reached, we reserve the right to cancel the training seven days before it is due to start at the latest. We are happy to inform you on changing your booking to an alternative date. Please note that we accept no liability for hotel or travel bookings that attendees have already made.
Usually the training courses start at 9:00 am and end at 5:00 pm of the respective local time. The actual course times will be stated in the booking confirmation. Please note that, depending on the training host, there may be a possible time shift between your and the provider's local time. Therefore all local times are provided with the valid time shift to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
The training includes intermediate and final exercises to practice the elements covered in the training. The trainer will present the resolution of these exercises and will check the good understanding of each module of the course with the help of MCQ. A training certificate will attest to the validation of the knowledge assessment for each module and for the overall training.
To get a clear impression of our online learning format, we offer you a trial allowing you access to the starting module of an eLearning course of your choice. No costs, no cancellation period or anything similar. Moreover, with this free test access you can check all the technical requirements for a smooth learning process. You can easily request the free module from any eLearning course.
Each online course day comprises four eLearning modules. You should ideally allow 90 to 120 minutes of uninterrupted learning time for each module. This will allow you to acquire the knowledge provided by a module and to consolidate it through quiz questions and Ansys exercises. By dividing each module into micro learning units, you can also make good use of smaller time windows, such as on your commute.
Prerequisite for the use of the eLearning courses is the use of a personalized access to the CADFEM learning platform. When purchasing an eLearning course, access to the learning platform is 365 days. As a subscription user, access to the learning platform starts and ends with the start and end of the flat rate. With the start of a further learning product (Learning Subscription, training, eLearning), access to your content is extended by 365 days.
