Use of this software requires knowledge ofthe physical phenomenon learned in courses such as fluid mechanics and mechanics ofmaterials. Due to a lack of understanding of the concepts, and unavailability of an introductorycourse in CFD or FEA, they are unable to develop the knowledge or skills with these analyticaltools.
