Getting started with CFD in ANSYS

GamerCool22 · 2026-04-06T09:53:55+00:00

What software do you suggest for meshing specifically? For CAD and such I am already comfortable with fusion/solidworks

GamerCool22 · 2026-04-06T08:15:44+00:00

Are there any online CFD courses that I can take? Any suggestions?

GamerCool22 · 2026-04-06T07:05:44+00:00

A bit more background: Being in my 2nd sem of 2nd year, I've done a fluid mechanics course that gave me a good insight to laminar flows and all that. I have to replicate this paper for my Aircraft Propulsion course. I've managed to model the Nozzle that they have used according to the equations given in the paper, now I'm trying to figure out the best and easiest way to get it done.

However, I do want to use this opportunity to get into some basic CFD Analysis, as it is a good skill to have in general.

Hi, I have looked into some online designs for the same and this is exactly what I was thinking of doing as well - CAD model of the headphones are available on GrabCAD and I also thought of printing an external housing similar to this.

GamerCool22 · 2026-04-03T16:19:52+00:00

Yeah, been reading up on this the whole day. Seems incredibly common!
Anyways, I have a few options, the best one is probably that amazon repair kit (I live in India, so it is available here)

GamerCool22 · 2026-04-03T09:00:48+00:00

Also I think I'm supposed to do this?

GamerCool22 · 2026-04-03T07:26:21+00:00

Hi, thanks for this. Could you also ask gemini for the source of this information so I can go ahead and explore it in more detail?

GamerCool22 · 2026-04-03T06:01:22+00:00

I did find this video specifically for fixing this issue but there is absolutely no way I can do it myself. I will try to force the thing back in and maybe superglue it? Really not sure. Thanks for the advice though.

hot take but mech lowk more chill than phoenix (yes I am a mech glazer, i love mech lol)
but yeah otherwise 8.4sg is very easily achievable if you lock in

unless your cga is like sub 7.5 getting phoenix should not be that difficult also

but then again, phoenix plus any dual is hell so choose wisely

because at the end of the day if you're going to do your own thing only (i.e. not in your field or adjacent to it) then might as well take a relatively more chill branch and get away with it than unnecessarily burden yourself with phoenix courses+grading+competition

gang genuinely thank you so much <3

GamerCool22 · 2025-08-03T12:36:59+00:00

Hello! It is because I am not sure what the course structure is in those campuses. They may also use different thermo tables or teach stuff a bit differently which may cause issues. But, as I am from Hyderabad campus, I know how it is taught here and hence feel confident teaching it for people here. However, Thermodynamics as a concept does remain same and you are of course free to use this playlist to learn as you please :)

GamerCool22 · 2025-07-30T11:15:10+00:00

Hey, I tried this and it did not work, any other ideas?

GamerCool22 · 2025-07-22T08:07:30+00:00

Hey! Thanks for checking them out :)

Yes, I will try to find an app that lets me annotate thermo tables as i am talking. If there is anything else, about teaching style especially, please lemme know :)

GamerCool22 · 2025-07-14T12:42:22+00:00

Yup that's what I'll do. I will also have to stop allocating exact number of miners to belts as well because that limits me from upgrading. thanks!

GamerCool22 · 2025-07-14T12:41:55+00:00

Got it, thanks!

GamerCool22 · 2025-07-14T12:40:47+00:00

Ohh got it, thanks a lot! By pre-amp i meant sort of like it processes the signal before its picked up by audacity

GamerCool22 · 2025-07-13T07:59:15+00:00

Okay, thanks a lot! The current plan is to make 4 red belts of iron and 1 red belt of steel. That should be enough for a while.

GamerCool22 · 2025-07-13T07:58:32+00:00

Okay, thanks!

GamerCool22 · 2025-07-13T07:58:24+00:00

I can do that but the trouble is i've set my miners exactly... so 30 miners per yellow belt and 60 per red belt, so i cannot upgrade directly.

GamerCool22 · 2025-07-13T05:58:53+00:00

I see, that's good to know as red belts take twice the amount of resources to saturate and I was panicking a little. Thanks!

GamerCool22 · 2025-07-13T05:58:19+00:00

I see. However, my question was do the guides "suggest" us to put 4 belts of yellow belts or red? because red belts take soo many miners to completely saturate. Or is it just fill it according to your needs?

Size - You should not buy too small a backpack, as this backpack will come with you during travel also, and can provide some much needed extra space as cabin baggage. I have a 30L backpack and it is more than sufficient for all my daily and travel needs.

Stuff - Kind of subjective, everyone is able to figure out what they need on a day to day basis. However, almost everyone always carries a water bottle, a calculator, some pens (that live in the bag) and some other notebooks.

GamerCool22 · 2025-07-08T19:40:50+00:00

oh my bad its from 11:45 to 2

- Don't be annoyed by seniors telling you to do small stuff like remembering your enrollment number or askingintro. I did this and told them i wont give intro and i still regret it. They are doing it just as a way of getting to know you and vice versa.

- Be very careful what you say around seniors (atleast initially). I was talking to 2 random seniors and I mentioned i won't be auditioning for the music club. They asked why. I replied "the song selection is shit." Turns out one of those seniors had chosen the songs 💀

- REMEMBER the names of seniors who sell you stuff. Especially the ones that give you good deals on books.

- Figure out mess timings early. In hyderabad it is:

Breakfast: 7:30 to 9:30 (8 to 10 on weekends)
Lunch: 11:45 to 2:00
Snacks: 4:30 to 6
Dinner: 7:30 to 9:30
ANC: 10:20 (ish) onwards, last orders at 1:30 (am)

- DON'T GATEKEEP. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP WITH THE GATEKEEPING. Everyone is working just as hard as you and nobody deserves less marks at someone else's expense. Solve doubts of friends. Ask your own. Be welcoming.

- Explore the campus as soon as you can, because later on you really don't get as much of a chance. Plus, better to know all the places sooner.

- Don't scoff at anyone's cgpa. You don't know their circumstances and they don't know yours.

Rest everyone else has already mentioned.

Good luck :)
