Format of the Certification Exam  

This certification exam consists of 1 Theory Quiz and 2 Simulation Quizzes. You will have two attempts to pass within 30 days of your purchase. 

The theory quiz is 1 hour (60 mins) in timed duration where you are presented with 30 questions which test your knowledge of Fluid Flow Simulation and Conjugate Heat Transfer.

The Simulation Quizzes are 60 mins each in timed duration where you are presented with 5 questions to answer. This quiz is designed to be taken after successfully solving the simulation exercises. 

The certification exam questions will include both single-answer and multiple-answer questions. 

You will have 30 days to complete the entire certification exam process, allowing for sufficient time to download the model, set up the workflow and solve the simulation exercise before starting the certification exam. 

You may start each quiz at your convenience (within the 30-day period), but once started, you must complete it; there is no option to pause and start again later. 

A passing grade of 75% is required for each of the theory and the simulation quizzes. 

Simulation Test Requirements and Details  

The simulation-based quiz tests your basic understanding of Ansys Discovery for setting up and interpreting results of some basic fluid flow simulations. 

You will be provided with a starting mesh file and instructions for the simulation problem. 

The simulation models have been designed to run within the limits of the free Ansys Student product, found here. Alternatively, you may use a standard commercial or academic license of Ansys Fluent software if you already have access to one through school or work. 

You must use the latest version of Ansys software. The files may not open in older releases of Ansys software, so attempting to setup and solve the simulation with older releases might not be possible. 

Before proceeding with the certification exam, you should confirm that you can set up, solve and post-process any model inside Ansys Discovery, hence confirming your ability to run the software. 

Starting the simulation-based quiz without access to Ansys Discovery software will result in a failed certification exam. 

As a guide, the actual setup and solving of the simulation should not take longer than 2 hours per simulation, but you have 30 days to complete this along with the certification exam itself. 

If you do not pass the certification exam, you will be permitted to retry one additional time (i.e., 2 attempts in total) within 30 days from the time you purchased the certification exam.
