This course is an ultimate solution for the people who want to learn advanced planning & scheduling concepts, together with their implementation on Primavera P6.

This course is uniquely designed to meet the requirements of an advanced-level planning engineer. Emphasis has been given to understanding the core planning concepts, rather than just developing a schedule. A schedule with no planning sense, will not only cause trouble in project controlling, but it's also a question mark on the integrity of the planning engineer. This course is particularly beneficial for the 'Engineering & Construction' industry, but others can also use the concepts to schedule their projects.

This course is based on extensive research, real-world challenges, the experience of industry experts, and exercises based on actual projects. We have also included an extensive practice of using Microsoft Excel together with Primavera P6. This will not only speed up the scheduling process but will also aid in the management and accuracy of schedule data. The course also includes many templates, samples, tools, and other useful resources, which will help you a lot in your projects.

Gain a new perspective of how the universe works from the subatomic to the cosmological and how we are all connected to everything.
Gaia is proud to present a comprehensive series from Nassim Haramein who offers a quantum revolution to the way we think about the universe, quantum mechanics, consciousness, and our spiritual connection.
The mathematical models we have been given to describe the universe do not work. They are fraught with errors and fudge factors, trying to make sense of what is observed but not well understood. Perhaps the biggest problem is the disconnect between all of the sciences. What Nassim Haramein has discovered gives us the unified field theory to reconcile the biggest discrepancies in our scientific understanding and bridges ancient spirituality with cutting edge physics.

Perfect meshing for CFD



What you'll learn
Students will learn about creating high quality hexa meshing for CFD Analysis
Requirements
Basic knowledge of CFD and ICEMCFD
ICEMCFD installed on your computer, more preferably ICEMCFD 2020 R2 (ANSYS 2020 R2)

Description
Meshing is the most important part of any CFD process. Meshing is the process to divide continuous domain in discrete parts known as control volumes. After discretizing, this mesh is provided to numerical (CFD) solver to solve algebraic equations arising from partial differential equations of continuous domain. Therefore meshing is most important part of any CFD process and accuracy & stability of CFD process largely depends on good quality mesh.

It is estimated that around 70% time is spent on meshing in any CFD project. But after taking this course, you will be expert in meshing and you can generate meshes in very less time than rest of CFD community.

In meshing you can either go with full hexa meshing or tetra meshing (with prism layers). Hexa meshing is more of an art and requires great deal of time. But yields most accurate solution. It also requires less number of nodes and hence it require less compactional resources and less solution time. It also avoids numerical errors /numerical diffusivity as you can observe in tetra meshes. It is estimated that tetra meshes requires as much as five times of mesh size as that of hexa meshing.

In this course you will enhance your ICEMCFD hexa meshing skills on more complicated geometries such as circular cylinder, 3D airfoils, stirred tank, wind turbine etc. Here you will each and every trick/tip of business of CFD meshing. After going through this course, you will be able to create perfect grid according to CFD simulation requirements and hence will be able to get most accurate results in less time.

We will cover different topics as well which will increase effectiveness of hexa meshing.

Who this course is for
Students and professionals who strive to get best CFD results based on high quality meshing.

And by using an Adjustment Brush, he brings more focus to the center of the image.
Project 2 - Sunny Skies
To draw the viewer's attention to the focal point of the image, Zach tweaks the HSL sliders by adjusting the hue and saturation of the blues in the sky.
Then uses a Radial Filter to create a light source in the image.
Project 3 - Foggy Conditions
Zach brings out the colors of the alpine meadow in the foreground by tweaking the HSL panel.
And creates a dreamy look in Photoshop by adding an Orton effect.
Project 4 - Sunrise & Sunset
Zach uses the Masking tools to bring out the colors of the sky, and mimic the same colors in the water. All this, while maintaining the focus on the sky.
Then he removes unwanted details from the foreground by using the Spot Healing Brush tool in Photoshop.
Project 5 - Golden Hour
Zach blends 3 images creating the perfect HDR to prepare his photo for editing.
And gets rid of the harsh edge of the lens flare to make it more natural in Photoshop.
Project 6 - Layered Landscapes
By reducing the highlights in the sky, and using the Color Grading tool, Zach brings out the warmer tones of the image.
Using the Detail panel and adjusting the Masking slider he's able to bring out the finer details of the mountains.
Project 7 - Fall Fairytales
Zach uses Lightroom's full range of capabilities to make the colors stand out.
Contrasting the shape and structure of this majestic tree.
Project 8 - Long Exposure Photography
Zach brings out the details of the mountains in the background by adjusting the whites and shadows in the Basic Panel.
Then he adds texture to the night sky by brightening and enlarging a few stars using the masking tools.
And finally, he adds shooting stars by erasing traces of a straight white line.
Project 9 - Milky Way Blends
Zach walks you through two different ways to replace the sky in the image. First, he covers the old way, by using the Quick Selection Tool in Photoshop. Then shows you the new Sky Replacement Tool too.
Finally, using the Color Range tool he creates a light source that he places between the background and the foreground layers to give the image a natural glow.
New Bonus



Added: 60-Minute Lightroom Starter Course (Value: $99)

Description
José Raúl Capablanca was a Cuban chess player who was the world chess champion from 1921 to 1927.

His games are among the clearest of the World champions to understand the fundamentals of positional play and endgame mastery.

This course checks out his most important games from early in his career between 1901 and 1918.

From the outset, Capablanca's strength in endgame play is particularly evident, and his ability to make use of very simple openings emphasises his middlegame and endgame strengths.

He defeated very early in his career one of the strongest players in the United States - Frank Marshall in a crushing eight wins. 1 loss, 18 draw match which took the world by surprise. Even more surprising is Capablacan's victory at the international San Sebastián tournament of 1918 which had very strict entry criteria of having won previous tournaments. Capablanca had only a match victory against Marshall and some players protested at his entry. Capablanca showed he was extremely capable of playing at their level and beyond and won the tournament, defeating his fiercest critics such as Ossip Berstein and Aron Nimzovich in the process in brilliant fashion.

The course tries to provide an objective analysis of the games without too much bias for the winner. The concept here is that with the "truth" of games we can use such games to really improve our play to the maximum. We can also pick up opening theory, middlegame tactics and strategy, and of course endgame strengths through the inspiration of the key Capablanca games chosen in this course. The course bypasses the hundreds of Simul games Capablanca played - perhaps they can be in another course in the future. Instead, the course focuses on the most important tournament and match games of the time period the course has scope for.

In the process of creating the course, Kingscrusher himself has experienced more powerful confidence for endgame transitioning and "small combinations" - and believes any attentive student will too - and find many inspirational concepts and philosophies to enrich your chess through game example after example.

Who this course is for
Beginner to intermediate players who want to improve their endgames
Beginner to intermediate players who want to improve their positional understanding
Beginner to intermediate players who want to improve their "simple chess" which is a way of playing in an effective and efficient and safe manner
