Windows 10 WSL platform support, assuming Ubuntu LTS distro is used.Ĭreate new analysis from mesh file generated from external meshing tool (e.g.

support windows platforms by BlueCFD ( I support windows 10 only with WSL).

porous model, multiphase model (I will not implement it).

dropped PyFoam dependency (I have a plan and it is half done).

cfMesh, snappyHexMesh meshing, however, Cfd module support import mesh generated by third-party mesher.Topology optimisation (meshing and boundary setup remain valid during geometry topology change) So it can be used in automated CAD design and simulation pipeline, see example Ĭoupling with FenicsSolver, a multiphysics FEA solver set, has been demonstrated in early 2018. See example in FoamCaseBuilder/testĪn independent python module, FoamCaseBuilder (LGPL), can work with and without FreeCAD to build up case for OpenFOAM

Python script and GUI to run a basic laminar flow simulation is supported by Cfd Workbench. For engineering application, please seek support from other commercial CFD software. Limited by the long solving time and mesh quality sensitivity of CFD problem, this module will not as good as FEM module. This module aims to accelerate CFD case build up. This CFD module now have a sub forum in FreeCAD's official forum, see the link: LGPL license as FreeCAD Features and limitation Please file bugs and feature request in, in the issue report, you can link to FreeCAD forum discussion thread. Since 2009, contribution from CSIR has be removed gradually due to new design of work flow, see Changelog and Roadmap.md Features from CSIR fork has not been picked up from CfdOF repo even agreed CfdOF has a different GPL license. Meanwhile, this repo still targets at preparing real-world case files from FreeCAD geometry for advanced users, which also means user needs to tweak the OpenFOAM case files in production environment. The team from CSIR South Africa, has significant contribution to this repo in 2016:ĬSIR team has forked this repo into in 2017, focusing on usability for new users and OpenFOAM. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) module for FreeCADĪn advanced open source CAD integrated CFD preprocessing tool to enable automated one-stop CFD simulation
