What this is
The courses cover fluid dynamics simulation: meshing, boundary conditions, turbulence models, analysing results. This is one of the packages whose commercial licence is extremely expensive.
Geographically only China is excluded, so access from Georgia is open. The one real barrier is academic verification.
Who it is for
Engineering students and lecturers working with CFD.
How to get it
- 1Open Siemens and create a free account. No card is asked for at any point.
- 2Work through the material, ~20 h in total. It is self-paced, so the time is yours to spread.
- 3Complete every module. The document is issued on completion, not on an exam result.
- 4Download the certificate as a PDF and keep the verification link, which is what an employer actually checks.
From Georgia
SheerID academic verification is required. A Georgian university address often fails the automatic check and is verified by hand, which takes a few days.
What to watch for
Proving student or teacher status is mandatory. Without it access does not open.
Where this helps
Live remote vacancies in the same direction. You apply on the employer's own site; the board itself is written in Georgian.
