Default Open Source Revisited

Recently I installed the powerfull pre and post processor Salome on my OpenSUSE box, there were a couple of snags after installation, I posted a query on the OpenSUSE community forums, during the process of solving these problems I was informed that they will include the programme in their repository.

I advice fellow readers of the forum to check that address http://devzilla.novell.com/education/show_bug.cgi?id=1

Is not that good for all of us to know that OpenFOAM will be available on OpenSUSE repositories. Very nice people indeed.

I am not affiliated to neither OpenSUSE NOR OpenFOAM

Greetings Ahmed,

At least we know that Openfoam should function seamlessly on a Suse workstation. That is, in itself, a very good thing.

You'd imagine that I've standardised on a Suse platform - in fact, on their Server version.

It has been a long time since our last discussion about the incompressible definition. Yes, indeed, that would be a step in the right direction for all people concerned, I myself, have tried to install OpenFOAM on my suse box, unfortunately, I failed. I really hope to see OpenFOAM available on the SUSE repositories. Good Luck to you.

I had complained about my problems in installing OpenFoam with OpenSUSE in a previous reply to one of your posts.

In fairness, I must say that I recently had one of my co-workers install OpenFoam for me, which he did in a few hours. It seems to work fine, along with Paraview.

Hello Allan

You know what is funny about that OpenFOAM? The claim made by the developers that the programme was developed on an OpenSUSE platform, then what is the distro that I have installed on my computer, OpenSUSE, then what etc........

Any way, I have Salome installed on my openSUSE, a very powerful pre and post processor (Think in terms of Ansys WorkBench) and I hope to successfully install Code Saturne which is another CFD open source code, but in this case, it is developed and used by Electricite de France (EDF), here is the web address in case you decide to have a look at it

http://rd.edf.com/the-edf-offers/res...ne-107008.html

How much would you have paid to your coworker in order to install OpenFOAM (75 dollars/hr Multiplied by the number of worked hours)

then it is not free software?

Is it possible to ask your coworker to write a simple procedure on what he did in order to install the programme

Happy computing and Good Luck Remember what you said last time, There is no free lunch.
