CONVERGE 6 Getting Started Guide
The Getting Started Guide walks you through the process of getting CONVERGE up and running on your machine. The guide covers how to install CONVERGE, how to obtain a license and start the license server, the workflow of running a CONVERGE simulation, and how to install and run CONVERGE Studio. The Getting Started Guide is available on the CONVERGE Hub and on the CONVERGE website.
CONVERGE 6 Manual
The CONVERGE manual describes the physical models, numerical methods, and grid settings you can use to simulate three-dimensional flow problems. In addition, this manual details CONVERGE's input and output files, zero- and one-dimensional chemistry tools, and options for coupling with third-party software packages. The enhancements and bug fixes included in every major and minor release of CONVERGE are documented in the CONVERGE release notes.
CONVERGE Studio 6 Manual
The CONVERGE Studio manual describes the tools and options in CONVERGE's graphical user interface, including geometry manipulation tools, input file configurations tools, the Chemistry module, the CONGO module, the Line Plotting module, the Post-Processing 3D module, the ParaView module, and the CAD Editor module. In addition, the enhancements and bug fixes included in every major and minor release of CONVERGE Studio are documented in the CONVERGE Studio release notes.
CONVERGE 6 UDF Manual
A user-defined function (UDF) is a function or subroutine that provides additional capability to CONVERGE. The UDF manual contains instructions for installing, compiling, and running CONVERGE UDFs, along with basic information about UDF structure. You can find the UDF manual on the CONVERGE Hub as well as in the main CONVERGE installation package. This documentation explains the CONVERGE API functions and data types that you can use to build UDFs.
Example Cases
CONVERGE Studio includes example cases covering a wide variety of applications. You can quickly load an example case to study the geometry and case settings, or you can use an example case as a starting point for your own simulation. CONVERGE Studio contains example cases in the following categories:
- Internal Combustion Engines
- Gas Turbines
- Fuel Injectors and Sprays
- Exhaust Aftertreatment
- Compressors, Fans, and Blowers
- Pumps
- Valves
- Burners
- Heat Exchangers
