Seeing is believing, and training is the best way to see for yourself whether Barracuda Virtual Reactor is right for your specific applications. Introductory training classes are offered regularly through both in-person or web-based formats, while advanced training is typically personalized for individual clients through our technology transfer programs.
Training
What's unique about CPFD's training classes?
- Training is conducted by experienced staff who use the technology every day, not separate training staff
- Significant time can be allocated for you to work on your own, real-world project during the class
- Our engineers provide optional private consultation throughout the class via individual, break-out sessions
- Content is structured so those with considerable CFD experience, and those with no modeling background, can both benefit
- Class sizes are intentionally small, to maximize one-on-one interactions
- The training experience can continue beyond class completion, through our QuickStart and other technology transfer programs
- Classes are open to customers prior to licensing and can be combined with short-term licensing models so you can “try before you buy”
- Private classes can be scheduled upon request and customized for your organization
