In today’s fast-paced and ever-evolving world, staying ahead requires more than just keeping up with the latest trends and technologies. It necessitates continuous learning and skill development, making training an essential component of personal and organizational growth. Whether you’re an individual looking to sharpen your skills or a business aiming to boost productivity, effective training can unlock a wealth of potential. At Convergent Science, we believe constant learning is an indispensable aspect of success that wields the power to transform your career or your company’s future. Our training sessions are where learning feels like an adventure, where every new skill is a boon, and where each attended course is a ticket to revealing your true abilities. In this blog, we will discuss the what, who, when, where, and why of our training program.
At Convergent Science, our training program is designed to get people familiar with our innovative, multi-purpose CFD solver, CONVERGE. Our courses are a way to get acquainted with our software and modeling options while working through a wide variety of example cases. In addition to our introductory training course, which serves as a gateway to CONVERGE, we also offer 10+ different application-focused trainings and 20+ different feature-focused training courses. Many of our sessions also include hands-on practice with our user-friendly GUI, CONVERGE Studio. If you’re looking for a little personalized help, we include a training course specifically so you can work one-on-one with a Convergent Science engineer on a case of your choosing. Additionally, if you don’t see the topic you’re looking for, or if you’d like to organize a training session just for your team, let us know! Our customized training lets you design your own session to best suit your specific needs. In other words, it’s an opportunity for you to tell us your vision of how we can best help you, and we’ll turn it into reality.
“The CONVERGE training I attended significantly enhanced my capability in performing high-fidelity FSI analyses, enabling me to accurately simulate complex phenomena and optimize compressor performance,” remarked Barkın Kılıç, Lead R&D Engineer at Beko. “The training provided invaluable insights into the advanced functionalities of CONVERGE, and the hands-on approach has greatly accelerated my company’s application of these tools in real-world R&D projects. The sessions have also paved the way for us to explore new avenues of research, allowing us to strive toward performance, efficiency, and sustainability targets with a higher degree of confidence.”
Everyone stands to benefit from one of our CONVERGE training sessions. Whether you’re a prospective client, existing academic or commercial user, new employee, or just an interested engineer, our courses are open to you. Here at Convergent Science, we believe learning is an inclusive experience.
“As a new user, I found CONVERGE’s interface to be fairly intuitive, but I wanted to master some of the additional features to advance my academic research. CONVERGE’s specialized training programs helped me accelerate my progress and provided a unique environment to learn directly from CONVERGE engineers and developers,” said Mickael M. Silva, Aramco Americas. “Now, with over half a decade of daily CONVERGE use, I still try to attend these training sessions whenever possible. They continue to be invaluable for exploring new features and deepening my understanding of complex model implementations and best practices. I definitely recommend the training sessions, for new and experienced users alike.”
We regularly offer free CONVERGE training sessions, taught by our expert engineers and covering a wide range of our software’s models and features, as well as how to apply them to specific applications. For the most part, we schedule the courses we are planning to offer in a given year at the end of the preceding year. The decision of which sessions to offer depends on the conferences we’ve attended over the past year, what our existing or prospective clients are interested in, and what topics are currently popular in the engineering community. Despite the schedule being determined well in advance, training sessions may be added or removed throughout the year, and scheduled sessions may be modified regarding the date, time, or content. Check out our website for the full schedule, and check back frequently to ensure you don’t miss any updates!
CONVERGE training is available in both live and on-demand formats. You can attend a live training online or in-person at one of our offices in the United States (Madison, Detroit, and Houston), Europe (Linz), and India (Pune). If you can’t make it to a live session, or you want to catch up on a topic, watch our on-demand training sessions, which are available 24/7 on the Convergent Science Hub. These pre-recorded courses provide you with an opportunity to learn CONVERGE anytime, anywhere. Log in or create an account today!
We built our training program to help the engineering community move forward by teaching them how to use a multi-purpose, state-of-the-art CFD software. With our expert engineers guiding them every step of the way, prospective and existing customers can get acquainted with our software to help them excel in their careers, and students and other academics can learn about features that will help them perform cutting-edge research.
“Participating in the CONVERGE training program has been an invaluable experience and a crucial step in gaining the expertise needed to learn CONVERGE’s capabilities and achieve reliable simulation results,” commented Andrea Piano, Assistant Professor at Politecnico di Torino. “The training provided technical knowledge, the chance to interact and exchange ideas and best practices with CONVERGE experts, and, last but not least, a possibility for networking with colleagues from industry and academia.”
