MpCCI Basic Training

Codes

The MpCCI Basic Seminars will be offered different code combinations.

Current training materials are prepared for

- ABAQUS 6.7

- FLUENT 6.3

- STAR-CD 3.26 & 4.04

This list will be extended to cover all MpCCI supported codes.

During the MpCCI training seminars we will give presentations and demonstrations for different code combinations. Depending on the participants’ request the seminars may be limited to a specific code-pairing.

Application Areas

During the MpCCI Basic Seminars we will demonstrate several general multi-disciplinary types of application:

- Fluid-structure interaction with deformable geometries

- Thermal coupling

- Others will follow

Training examples are based on the tutorials given in the

MpCCI Documentation.
