3. July 2010 Workshop

3.1. Overview

Bob Biedron and Eric Nielsen traveled to NAVAIR-Pax River during the last week of July for two days of FUN3D training requested by the Pax CFD group. The agenda covered a subset of the areas included in previous training sessions, but included some updated information and also added a new session on 6-DOF simulations as well as a FUN3D perspective on the use of Suggar++.

3.2. Agenda and Materials

The agenda for the workshop follows. Note that PDF files of the slides are available for download. Here are some additional notes on the material provided here:

  • All training material is designed to be compatible with FUN3D v11.3.
  • A tarball of the material required for the demos covered in the slides is also provided below. The directory structure and filenames contained in this tarball follow the slides exactly.
  • PBS queue scripts are included for each demo case in the tarball. These scripts will need some obvious modifications to run under your PBS system if desired. To run a case interactively from a shell prompt, simply extract the command line from the bottom of each queue script.
  • The FUN3D executable nodet_mpi (flow solver) must be in your PATH.
