Training Sessions

A central component of the OpenFOAM Workshop is training provided by experts within the community. These training sessions usually take place during the first day of the event, and the level can go from beginner to advanced.

The training sessions can cover any topic related to OpenFOAM or the lifecycle of a CFD simulation,

CAD → Meshing → Simulations → Post-processing → Automation and optimization → Data analytics and ML

If you are interested in delivering a training session, please fill in the template and send it to guerrero@wolfdynamics.com

Right now we are not accepting more training session proposals.

Preliminary list of training sessions.

The details of each training session will be available later. Note that some sessions will take place on different dates.
