# Event Details - **Event Name**: Getting CFD Right: From Best Practices to Your First Fluent Simulation - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 05 Nov, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Thu, 05 Nov, 2026 at 08:30 pm (-05:00) - **Event Description**: Learn practical CFD best practices used by engineers to build more accurate, reliable, and trustworthy simulations.About this EventInterested in CFD but unsure how professionals set up simulations that produce reliable results? Join this two-hour hands-on Ansys workshop to learn the practical fundamentals of CFD. ⚠️ IMPORTANT: This is a hands-on workshop. To participate, you must bring a laptop with a working installation of Ansys. We'll cover common mistakes made in geometry preparation, meshing, boundary conditions, convergence assessment, and result validation, using demonstrations that show how setup choices directly affect outcomes. Afterward, you'll build and run a NACA duct simulation in Ansys Fluent, explore mesh refinement effects, and learn how engineers evaluate solution quality. We'll finish with a tour of free training resources, AI learning assistants, and pathways toward Ansys certifications. Light snacks and drinks will be included.⚠️ IMPORTANT: This is a hands-on workshop. To participate, you must bring a laptop with a working installation of Ansys.If you do not already have Ansys installed, download and install Ansys Student before the event and verify that it works by launching Ansys and creating a new simulation:https://ansys.synopsys.com/academic/students/ansys-studentIf you already have the full version of Ansys licensed through UCF, do not install Ansys Student. Instead, verify that your existing installation works by launching Ansys and creating a new simulation.No time will be allocated during the workshop for software installation, licensing issues, or troubleshooting. Attendees without a working Ansys installation may not be able to fully participate in the hands-on Fluent exercise.Agenda🕑: 06:30 PM - 07:30 AMPractical CFD Best PracticesHost: Chris PennyInfo: Learn how geometry preparation, mesh quality, boundary conditions, domain sizing, turbulence modeling, convergence, and validation impact CFD accuracy. Includes demonstrations showing how common mistakes can lead to misleading results and how engineers build reliable simulations.🕑: 07:30 PM - 08:30 PMHands-On Fluent Workshop: NACA Duct SimulationHost: David PonsInfo: Participants will follow along to build and run a NACA duct CFD simulation in Ansys Fluent. Multiple mesh refinement strategies will be explored and compared to demonstrate how mesh resolution influences accuracy, solution behavior, and confidence in the results. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/orlando/getting-cfd-right-from-best-practices-to-your-first-fluent-simulation/100001998785765029 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: 4123 Pictor Ln - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Orlando - **state**: FL - **country**: United States - **location**: 4123 Pictor Ln - **lat**: 28.6052476 - **long**: -81.1991153 - **full address**: 4123 Pictor Ln, 4123 Pictor Lane, Orlando, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Getting CFD Right: From Best Practices to Your First Fluent Simulation - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/84cddc3c1c00b604427fdc2743b42501552fa7d560dc01bc89baa0a4f8d0f156-rimg-w1200-h828-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg?v=1789094771 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Getting CFD Right: From Best Practices to Your First Fluent Simulation being held? - **A:** Getting CFD Right: From Best Practices to Your First Fluent Simulation takes place on Thu, 05 Nov, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Thu, 05 Nov, 2026 at 08:30 pm at 4123 Pictor Ln, 4123 Pictor Lane, Orlando, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Getting CFD Right: From Best Practices to Your First Fluent Simulation? - **A:** Getting CFD Right: From Best Practices to Your First Fluent Simulation is organized by Chris Penny. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
