CONVERGE Explore - Professional Development Program
CONVERGE Explore is a professional development program that helps established and aspiring engineers expand their simulation skill sets. Created by Convergent Science, CONVERGE is a leading computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software suite designed to simulate fluid flows in complex systems. CONVERGE is set apart from other CFD packages by its fully autonomous meshing. CONVERGE automatically generates a high-quality computational mesh at runtime and refines the mesh throughout the simulation, significantly simplifying the case setup process and maximizing simulation accuracy and efficiency. The CONVERGE Explore Program provides free software licenses and a variety of resources to help participants learn how to run meaningful CFD simulations in CONVERGE.
LAUNCH YOUR ENGINEERING CAREER
CFD is an integral part of the technology development process in a wide range of industries: automotive, aerospace, marine, energy, biomedical, and many others. CFD allows engineers to virtually test design variations and acquire performance data before building a physical prototype, reducing the costs associated with the design process. Because they can save their companies time and money, skilled CFD engineers are in high demand.
The CONVERGE Explore Program offers a unique opportunity to expand your CFD abilities and become proficient with a popular simulation software package. Employers look for candidates who have experience with CONVERGE—participating in this program gives you a competitive edge in the job market and can help you kick-start your engineering career.
WHO IS THIS PROGRAM FOR?
If you’re interested in learning how to use a new CFD software, the CONVERGE Explore Program is for you! This program is designed to get you up and running with CONVERGE, whether you have experience with other CFD codes or this is your first foray into the field.
As a learning tool, CONVERGE Explore licenses cannot be used for proprietary or commercial purposes and are limited to running on 8 cores with a maximum cell count of 500,000. If you’re looking to conduct proprietary/commercial work, or you’re interested in running large multi-node simulations, you may be better suited by a different CONVERGE license (see the table below). Contact explore@convergecfd.com to learn more about our licensing options!
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
To run CONVERGE, you’ll need a personal computer with a Windows or Linux operating system. We recommend a minimum of 2 GB of RAM, although your simulation will run more efficiently if you have a larger amount of RAM. Additionally, we recommend a discrete graphics card for a smooth user experience in CONVERGE Studio, the graphical user interface for CONVERGE.
