Full Schedule

CFD Direct manage, maintain and develop OpenFOAM on behalf of the OpenFOAM Foundation. Our training instructor, Chris Greenshields, has managed every release of OpenFOAM since its initial release in 2004 and has conducted 400 days of OpenFOAM Training since 2008.

Our goal is to build CFD competency of our participants. Competency is the confidence to carry out CFD analysis, repeatedly, to a defined standard in a timely manner.

• Confidence = not freezing at the keyboard.
• Repeatedly = delivering a good solution, and then another.
• Defined standard = understand what a good solution is.
• Timely manner = working efficiently.

We build competency by teaching how to create CFD solutions through a process of design:

1. Prototype – building a representative solution, from a template, rapidly (timely manner).
2. Production – refining the solution by an iterative design process, making small changes and testing frequently (confidence).
3. Packaging – making the solution reliable, cost effective and easy to use again and again (repeatedly, defined standard).
