Hi, I want to learn ANSYS, especially Fluent. Do you guys know of any good youtube channels or recommendation for inexpensive online courses?

Thanks!

I don't have any particularly good course recommendations, unfortunately. ANSYS offers classes, and there are other offerings I found through Google, but I can't vouch for any of them.

Do you have prior experience performing FEA or CFD analysis? Honestly, the biggest issue is understanding how the calculations work and what assumptions are being made. Otherwise you will get bogus results and not realize it. That's true regardless of which software package you use. Once you have that, it's just a matter of learning the software UI to make it do what you already know needs to be done.

Yes, there are many results found through Google, so I'm asking if anyone had personal experience with some of them.

I got a Bachelors in ME, but didn't explore FEA much, and want to get used to the software and best practices. I feel that watching how others solve problems with these tools is the best way to grasp the extend and limits of the tool.

What you said is true though, the assumptions in FEA are important, and need validations.

Anyway, I'll try out several different resources and one day maybe I get to share my experience.
