The training can be attended on site or online. Due to the current outbreak of the COVID-19 disease, we offer our trainings exclusively online until further notice.

Online participants can join via Microsoft Teams. The link will be sent to you before the event begins. Training materials will be mailed to all online participants in advance in hard copy.

Goal of the training

The training is limited to 4 participants. The goal of the training is to discuss the basics of thermal simulation and to set up and calculate your task in the training using OpenFOAM.

This way, besides the basics, a simulation setup for your task will be created, so that you can continue with your project afterwards and have a contact person.
