I am currently an "intern" at a company for a position primarily involving drafting cell site equipment. That is going quite well. But the owner of the company (an old friend of mine) has asked me to look up computational fluid dynamics softwares and begin to tinker with one, because he is interested in it for the sake of either hobby or perhaps expanding his horizons occupation-wise.
His motive is not finally the point.
I do, in fact, have a LOT of time on my hands and would like to start messing with some CFD softwares. I downloaded trial version of Autodesk CFD and haven't the slightest idea where to begin with it. There is NOT a good internet resource base/community for jumping into this cold turkey. I am not even sure if I am supposed to have Inventor installed first or whatever (I don't at the moment).
A few years ago I installed Inventor and Solidworks and learned quite a bit of those with no problem and no need for advanced engineering education.
BUT with this CFD stuff I have kind of hit a wall.
Any suggestions for a total beginner in CFD ? I currently have trial Autodesk CFD installed on my system and am looking for some absolute beginner tutorials.
