ANSA and mETA-Post, Introductory Course


ANSA is the leading multidisciplinary pre-processor for FE and CFD applications, with extremely powerful geometry handling and meshing capabilities. This course will give a hands on introduction to ANSA (through exercises with ANSA), focusing on FE applications. Note: The course may be extended also for basic CFD meshing when given on your site (contact us for more information).

Prior knowledge: The course is suited for users with no or only a limited experience of the program who wants to get started with using ANSA and learn the basic model generation methods.

Course leader, duration and start date: See the main course page
