A basic understanding of fluid mechanics is helpful before starting this workflow. The course builds from CFD foundations, but it assumes you can follow engineering concepts and work on a computer with ANSYS software installed.

The course centers on ANSYS Fluent for running CFD simulations, with supporting work in geometry creation, meshing, and post-processing. It also introduces the finite volume method and uses both pressure-based and density-based solver strategies to match different flow conditions.

You will practice creating simulation domains, generating meshes, setting up flow and thermal physics, choosing solver settings, and checking convergence. You will also analyze velocity, pressure, temperature, drag, and shock-related results so the full CFD workflow becomes something you can apply across different engineering cases.

To access course materials, assignments, and earn a Certificate, you'll need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. Eligible learners may also have the option to start with a Free Trial. Some courses may also offer a Full Course, No Certificate option. This lets you access course materials, submit required assessments, and receive a final grade, but you won't be able to earn or purchase a Certificate.

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
