C&R offers
custom training in Denver, Colorado or at your facility. This training
can be a comprised of the standard classes or optional topics. Please
visit our training web page for details
on the standard classes. The standard classes are:
These courses
provide an overview of heat transfer and fluid flow modeling with
an emphasis on the use of modern software tools for both geometric
and nongeometric (network) models.
The courses
include both lectures and hands-on experience using PCs, with at
least one computer available per two attendees. Also included are
tutorials and all presentation materials. The principal instructors
are Mark Welch, co-author of the Thermal Desktop, and Brent Cullimore,
co-author of SINDA/FLUINT. Additional C&R engineers will be
available to assist during hands-on lab sessions.
Thermal
Desktop®
and RadCAD® Class Options
Day 1: Thermal
Desktop® (Geometric Thermal Modeling). After a lecture/demonstration,
self-paced tutorials will be used to provide attendees with practice
building models and interpreting results using Thermal Desktop®
as a stand-alone analysis environment. Participants may also bring
floppies containing their own NASTRAN, FEMAP neutral, IDEAS Universal,
IGES, or DXF/DWG files if time permits.
Day 2:
RadCAD® (Thermal Radiation Analysis). Self-paced tutorials
will be used to provide attendees with practice building models
and interpreting results. Participants may also bring floppies
containing TRASYS or NEVADA input files if time permits.
Option A:
FloCAD® (Fluid Modeling in a Geometric Enviornment).
Introduction to fluid modeling components and their usage within
FloCAD. Course instruction assumes a basic understanding of Thermal
Desktop, SINDA and FLUINT.
Option B:
Advanced Modeling in Thermal Desktop®. This class
introduces advance design methods within Thermal Desktop. Self-paced
tutorials will be used to provide attendees with practice building
models and interpreting results.
SINDA/FLUINT
and Sinaps®
Class Options
Day 1: SINDA
(Nongeometric Thermal Network Modeling). This day consists of a
lecture in the morning, a brief introduction to Sinaps®,
followed in the afternoon by lab exercises using Sinaps®to develop a complete SINDA model from scratch.
Day 2: FLUINT
(Fluid Network Modeling). A morning lecture is followed in the afternoon
by lab exercises using Sinaps®to develop
a complete FLUINT model from scratch.
Option A:
SINDA/FLUINT Advanced Design Modules. This class provides training
in the high-level modules (beyond steady state and transient) in
SINDA/FLUINT just as the Solver (goal seeking, design optimization,
and automated test data correlation), Reliability Engineering (statistical
failure estimation), and Robust Design (reliability-based design
synthesis).
Option B:
Advanced Two-phase Fluid Modeling. This class introduces two-phase
modeling topics (thermodynamics, regime mapping, slip flow, mixtures,
choking, dissolution/evolution, nonequilibrium, and capillary devices),
and describes how they are applied within SINDA/FLUINT.
