- Introduction to CFD and AcuSolve
- Theoretical Background
- AcuSolve Workflow
  - AcuSolve Workflow Introduction
    This section gives a brief description of a general workflow of a typical CFD process. It describes in short the problem description, pre-processing, solving and post-processing aspects of a CFD workflow.
  - Pre-Processing
    This section details the several sub-categories of pre-processing in AcuSolve, including the use of user interface, solver parameters, model parameters and mesh generation.
  - Post-Process
    This section details the post-processing tools of AcuSolve, namely AcuProbe, which gives graphical representation of parameters and AcuFieldView, which gives the detailed description of simulations, such as plots and animations.
  - Tools and Utilities
    This section details the various tools and utilities available in AcuSolve that make the solver user-friendly.
    - Tools
      Aside from providing robust solver for CFD simulations, AcuSolve also provides easy to use tools for smooth work flow.
    - Variable Manager
      AcuConsole has a great feature of defining all of the variables in a single panel and then using them in the model setup. This feature is useful while performing studies such as grid refinement and time step sensitivity.
    - Workspace Layout Preferences
      You can customize the layout by setting certain default settings in AcuConsole. In the Preference dialog you can change certain settings such as fonts and icon sizes, display of units, setting default surface output, default mesh file type and the color scheme.
