1. March 2010 Workshop

1.1. Overview

After years of talking about it, the first-ever FUN3D training workshop was held on March 25-26, 2010. Initially planned to be a semi-private rehearsal session in front of a few (un?) lucky guinea pigs, it quickly grew into an opportunity for approximately 30 Langley civil servants and contractors to learn how to install and apply FUN3D v11.0 for their applications. Sessions included both lecture-style PowerPoint presentations as well as interactive demo sessions projected on two 8-foot screens located on each side of the room. Participants provided their own Langley-approved laptops with VPN accounts, which they used to connect to guest accounts on a dedicated cluster with roughly 600 cores devoted to the workshop. Feedback on this initial workshop was generally very positive, but a number of very useful comments and suggestions were made for future incarnations. The workshop was held in the Langley Room of the Reid Conference Center, and the agenda went something like this:
