Flux - Introduction

This course is an introductory course of Flux. It is a prerequisite for all other Altair Flux training modules. Through this course, the participants will discover the environment in which the program operates, and the workflow to set and solve a model. The course is based on a set of simple examples. The participants will learn about the basic steps to analyze a device in Flux, including creating and meshing the geometry, defining the physics, solving the problem and post-processing of the results. This course will be limited to magnetic applications only.

Prerequisite:
This course has a lot of hands-on examples. Please install the latest version of Flux with a valid license.

Goals and Objectives:

• Discover Flux environment and interface
• Enter the geometry using 2D sketcher
• Learn about the different mesh aspect and how to control the mesh
• Define the physics including materials, regions, and boundary conditions
• Set up a simple electric circuit
• Set up motion
• Define a solving scenario and solve the model
• Discover postprocessing functions: plots, curves, global quantities, local quantities.
