Getting Started with Fault-Tolerant Meshing Workflow in Ansys Fluent Software

Welcome to the comprehensive course on Getting Started with Fault-Tolerant Meshing Workflow in Ansys Fluent® fluid simulation software. This course comprises of eight lessons supported with hands-on exercises and advanced workshops, which will provide you with an in-depth understanding of the various tasks and features of the Fault-tolerant Meshing Workflow. The FTM workflow is designed to simplify and expedite the meshing process, especially for complex geometry, by enabling the creation of volume meshes directly from dirty CAD.

Learning Outcomes:

Following the completion, you will be able to:

• Understand the purpose, and advantages of the Fault-tolerant Meshing Workflow.
• Import CAD geometry into the Fault-tolerant Meshing Workflow and manage geometric components.
• Effectively describe geometry and flow within the geometry being analyzed.
• Identify regions within the geometry, handle leakages and update the settings of identified regions.
• Choose appropriate mesh control options and apply local sizing controls to generate and refine the mesh.
• Generate surface meshes, identify deviated surfaces, and update boundaries for efficient fluid flow simulations.
• Add boundary layers and understand their importance in accurately capturing fluid flow near walls.
• Generate the volume mesh, perform post-mesh operations, and assess its quality.
• Create high-quality CFD meshes from faulty CAD using Ansys Fluent’s Fault-tolerant Meshing Workflow.

Please note: These training materials were developed and tested in the 2024 R1 release.
