CUBIT Tutorial!

Announcing a full-day CUBIT Training session!

CUBIT Tutorial
When:	Tuesday, September 28, 2010
Time:	8:30am - 4:30pm
Where: Building CSRI, Room 90 
 1450 Innovation Parkway 
Albuquerque, NM 87123
Enroll: Contact Maggie Sorensen, mcsoren@sandia.gov 

This is a full-day hands-on introduction to using CUBIT. Taught by Randy Morris, the morning session gives a basic introduction to using the graphical user interface, and managing the workflow for preparing and meshing a CAD model. It includes manipulating and editing the model, using geometry tools for decomposition, meshing the solid model using tet or hex methods, checking mesh quality, assigning boundary conditions and exporting the model for use in a finite element analysis code. Example models will be provided on CD. 

The second half of the day, presented by Karl Merkley, will include more advanced decomposition strategies and may cover some of the available scripting options.  Examples will be provided on CD.  

Participants should bring a laptop with CUBIT 12.2 installed (12.2 will be available for download Sep 9).  Older versions will work but instruction will be done using 12.2.  A limited number of Linux laptops may be available for use. Contact Maggie Sorensen if you would like to reserve a laptop.

The course is intended for new and old users of Cubit, and will describe the process for mesh generation from geometry creation to mesh export and may also include more advanced scripting and model decomposition information.  This course will be similar to tutorials offered in the past.
 
A one-and-one-half hour no-host lunch break will occur around 11:30am.
