This course is three one-hour lectures designed to get engineering students to the spot where they can run engineering software on the Canadian supercomputers. The first lecture will cover the basics of supercomputing: what supercomputers are, what they can and cannot do, how to get acess to, and how to use the supercomputers. The second lecture will cover the basics of the open-source OpenFOAM program: how to access it, setting up and running a simple simulation, how to run it in parallel, and how to use ParaView to visualize the results. The final lecture will be the same (running a basic simulation on the cluster), but this time using the proprietary Ansys program.
Live online classes will take place on Fri. Jan. 10, Tues. Jan. 14, and Fri. Jan. 17 from 1 P.M. to 2 P.M. Eastern Time. Recordings of live classes will be available afterwards in this course for self-paced learning and review.
