This course not only teaches the basics of the Liquid Module in the FluidFlow software, but also covers relevant background knowledge related to flow analyses. Topics include the user interface and workflow of the Liquid Module, the building and analysis of basic pipe flow models, and the addition of custom pumps to the software database. The interpretation of flow results is discussed and illustrated by real-life cases.
A large set of video tutorials provide a clear learning curve and allow you to get fully up to speed on working with the software. After this course, you will be confident in using the Liquid Module features and you understand the related technical backgrounds.
The course allows you to learn at your own pace and is fully provided online. You receive 1-year unlimited access to all modules, which allows you to perform them over again when you need to refresh knowledge for your work projects.
