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 access 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 Tue. Dec. 2, and Fri. Dec. 5 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.
