I won't be able to attend the Workshop and I think there are many people in the same situation. Would it be possible for the organizers to make some web cams available so that we could follow the workshop online?

thanks for your feedback! Unfortunately, we will not be able (and probably not allowed by law) to set up webcams for the workshop.

Update VII
Live CAE Linux based distribution Dear FOAMers, for the 7th OpenFOAMŪ Workshop to be held in Darmstadt, Germany on June 25-28, 2012, we have prepared a Live CAE Linux based distribution with various CAE Software and of course, different OpenFOAM versions. We would like to thank Joel Cugnoni from the CAE Linux project for his work and support in creating the distribution. Constructive comments that came from from the trainers, especially Bernhard Gschaider and Hakan Nilsson were also very helpful and are appreciated. Download The .iso file: http://merida.csi.tu-darmstadt.de/op...nux-Public.iso The md5sum: http://merida.csi.tu-darmstadt.de/op...nux-Public.md5 Burning of the .iso on a USB disk with data persistence We are using the usb-creator-gtk application to burn the disk because it supports the creation of a persistency file, allowing the user to store information on the disk permanently. Instructions are available here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/In...n/FromUSBStick Note: if the disk is burned without the persistence option, the networking is not available (reasonable, since there is no chance of storing e.g. the dhcp and log info to the / filesystem). Please use a 8GB USB disk if you intend to have persistent data, we are currently in the process of further reducing the size of the .iso so that it can be burned on the 4GB usb disks as well. Virtualbox The live distribution can also be easily tested in a virtual machine. For this purpose, we are using the official (non-ose) version of the Virtualbox application: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads because it supports guest additions that allow easy connection of USB devices, etc. Booting process In order to boot from the USB disk, the boot order needs to be changed on your machine, so that the USB hard disk is placed first in the list. You can do this in the BIOS, or in the machine's Startup Menu. Once the distribution starts booting, you will see a black screen showing the following: Code:
boot:Workflow The terminals that bring up consoles for different versions of OpenFOAM compiled with different WM_COMPILE_OPTIONS (Opt, Debug) are linked on the desktop. If you open a new tab you have an empty environment, which you can define for a desired version by calling:
Installed Software The installation provides the following software: OpenFOAM-1.6-ext OpenFOAM-2.1.0 OpenFOAM-2.0.x Paraview-3.10.0 (OpenFOAM-1.6-ext) Paraview-3.12.0 (OpenFOAM-2.1.0, OpenFOAM-2.0.x) engrid gmsh discretizer ... You can also view the list of the available applications and libraries that are installed using the package system by executing the command: Code:
dpkg --get-selectionsHow you can help us To increase the chances of success for the Training sessions of the 7th OpenFOAMŪ Workshop we would benefit greatly if you could report problems that you find in the workflow with the distribution. Problems with the environment settings, connecting to a wireless network, drivers, etc could be avoided in advance if we had some input on how the distribution is behaving on various notebooks. So, if it runs, let us know, if it fails, tell us what failed, and for this purpose, please open a new thread in another section of the forum, since this one is reserved for Announcements.

Update XII
Final Preparations and Travel Instructions Dear OFW7 attendees, it is less than one week to the 7th OpenFOAMŪ Workshop being held June 25-28 in Darmstadt, Germany. Registration starts right in the morning of June 25 at 7.45 a.m. (Darmstadium Congress Centre). With this notification we want to provide you with some final information in order to assist you in preparations and planning. We are looking forward to hosting you at the 7th OpenFOAMŪ Workshop in Darmstadt! --- best regards, Holger Marschall, Kathrin Kissling, Tomislav Maric and Kerstin Schmitt, on behalf of International OpenFOAMŪ Workshop Committee Local OpenFOAMŪ Workshop Organizing Committee Travel - How do I get from Frankurt Airport to the OFW7 venue? The best way (I tested it last week) to get from Frankfurt Airport to Darmstadt is by using a bus shuttle service called 'Airliner'. The bus shuttle will take you to Darmstadt's main train station ('Hauptbahnhof') in less than 30 minutes. The ticket is 7,60 EUR -- valid for zone 40 ('Tarif-Gebiet 40'), including Darmstadt City! Here are some more detailed information than on the official websites:
Presentations - How do I get me started for my presentation at OFW7? You do have two different options. However, keep in mind that we have a very comprehensive program and we will need to stay in time rigidly. Hence, we recommend option #1 (upload of presentation slides). #1 Upload of Presentation Slides We recommend to upload the presentation slides along with all movies and animations using our UPLOAD FORM after login: http://www.extend-project.de/ofw7-uploads The uploads will be placed in a folder holding your name (beginning with your surname) - which btw. was a reason to have you all registered at the website. #2 Presentations from your Laptop You have the additional option to bring your own laptop for presentation. In this case, please remember that you might need to provide us with an adapter (if necessary; MAC users!) and test the system in the break (or evening) before your session. At the workshop there will be session chairs and technicians around, to directly ask. Please get in contact with them before. The names of chairs are provided within the program in the workshop wrapper. Switches and laser pointers will be available. Additional Advise Please complete your presentation with a few minutes to spare for discussion. Please contact your session chair and technician before your session. We need to be very brief with introductions, so please provide to your session chair the following basic information:
Preparation - What to bring with me to OFW7 / What is provided at OFW7? Bring your laptop! Please don't forget to bring your laptop! Note that you can only follow the training effectively with 'hands-on', which means in front of your laptop. Anyway, it might be simply useful to have your laptop around when discussing and exchanging with others on your field of interest. Keep in mind, that adapters for power plugs might be necessary. Visit http://www.extend-project.de/ofw7-tourist-info for more information. USB Live Distro (Training Day) Following the success of previous OpenFOAMŪ Workshop, we have prepared a USB stick for you. The OFW7 distro is based on CAE linux (http://www.caelinux.com/CMS/ -- thanks to Joel Cugnoni) with different versions of OpenFOAMŪ and most training material already provided. To participate and enjoy the training sessions you should follow the advise under 'Information for Participants' -- please visit http://www.extend-project.de/ofw7-training. In particular, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO DOWNLOAD AND TEST THE ISO WITH YOUR LAPTOP using a USB stick, virtual machine or DVD -- BEFORE THE WORKSHOP(!) in order to make sure that it works. The download is provided under http://www.extend-project.de/ofw7-training. In any case check how to enter BIOS and change boot order for your laptop! SIG/BoF Meetings & Clinics (Community Day) All OFW7 attendees are asked to think about and prepare their day-to-day test cases with OpenFOAMŪ, which they feel are interesting and/or subject to problems. At the workshop we will have BoF ad-hoc meetings on specific topics (BoF=Birds-of-a-Feather) and clinics, where these test cases and related issues are going to be addressed. Moreover, if you have been successfully working on issues related to a topic covered by one of the community's Special Interest Groups (SIGs), we would be glad if you could provide an ad-hoc talk! Please contact the leading persons of the SIG in that case. Internet Access WIFI will be available. Information on WIFI access will be provided at the Workshop venue. Documents - How do I get my Payment Receipt (or Invoice) We have send out all payment receipts (= invoices with confirmed payment) where we have confirmed payment transactions. If you have not yet received a payment receipt by the OFW7 administration, this DOES NOT necesserily mean that your payment transaction failed. It is the valuta (depending on credit card issuers), the administrative accounting and other factors which might have caused different confirmation times for payment transactions. IN ANY CASE, BRING YOUR RECORD OF PAYMENT WITH YOU. YOU SHOULD NOT LEAVE THE WORKSHOP WITHOUT PAYMENT RECEIPT! Additionally, for those with failed payment transactions (credit card payers), there will be the possibility to pay cash at the workshop registration desk. Please note that the amount must be paid in exact change, for which a receipt will be issued. We accept EUROs only. We will not be able to exchange. Please also refer to our 'Payment Policies' and the section 'Cancellation' under http://www.extend-project.de/ofw7-registration for further details.

Indeed, Bernhard, it WAS a great thing taking part in OFW7!
Concerning the updatedes: I do not know how many are still to come, but just half an hour ago I downloaded something like 300 MB of updates for the Workshop stick... ;-) Thanks to Timoslav and the other people working for the stick! |
Can you provide the link? I am very interested in it

The support thread for that distribution is this one: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tribution.html On a side-note: I'm also very curious to see the presentations... mainly the first one by H. Jasak :) Will 2.0-ext not be far away? What happened to the purely native Windows build of the 1.6-ext that has been talked about for ages now? What are the efforts of getting "*-ext" code into the Foundation's official code? Best regards, Bruno |
Bruno,
What I am interested are the presentations and not the usb stick. Thanks anyway ( by the way, are you portuguese?and if so, do you work with openfoam in lisbon in a college or something? I find no CFD in Portugal apart from academic, not to mention OF) Antonio |
Dear FOAMers,
Dear OFW7 attendees: THANK YOU! We have had a great time hosting you! We hope you have had a safe trip home! Thanks for all your contributions which have made the 7th OpenFOAMŪ Workshop a great success. Of course, we will have a few follow-ups (also on the workshop material: training material, slides of technical sessions and the book-of-abstracts). Up to now, we have received about 50%. We are on it: a call follows asap and we will be back to you soon. Yours, The Local OpenFOAMŪ Workshop Committee Holger Marschall - ofw7@openfoamworkshop.org |

I can tell you from Hrvīs "a year in review" presentation, that not the near future release of OF2.0-ext nor the Windows Port was part of that presentation. But that engys is about to present HELYX a OpenSource Gui for SnappyHexMesh (at the moment just the SF account seems to exist) coming in three flavors 1)OS without support, 2) Commercial support (about 11000€ per year with support and best practice guides etc.=> Big competitor to ICONīs Foampro 3) ELEMENTS optimized from automotive aerodynamists workflow. Do not know what price they think about. But HELYX will have an big impact of the preprocessing experience with SHM for a wide user base, and might have an impact on the acceptance working with OF in general. => Next years OF-workshop will be in South Korea located in Seoul. As Hrv did not say a word on "native Windows port", I asked Hrv if it was dead, and he said no the job porting via cmake it is just accomplished and to many things on his work desk.(Just like the long mentioned "Immersed Boundary Method" that is available since this years workshop => ZeljkoTukovic and mentioned a long time ago) Also on the Extend Projectīs presentation there was the question why no new names appear only the usual suspects. That the lack of new helping hands prevents the new OF2-ext from appearing because there is no one that fills the gap of Oliver Borm and builds Debian binary packages (just an example). Ulrich Heck did also a nice presentation about your baby Bruno blueCAPE. He had to speak very fast to meet the timelimit for presentations ;-), but he did well There was also a booth from ESI and they announce an foampro competitor as well. Your last question about getting Extend Code into Foundation Code, I can say that there was the desire from the Extend Project to have a closer contact with the Foundation. It would have been nice if someone from the Foundation would have visited the workshop to exchange some thoughts etc. but no one seems to have contact to the Foundation although there have been some attemps in the past from the EXT people. Maybe it is a good sign (friendly coexistance) that the usual new release from OpenCFD/SGI did not take place at the end of the workshop and that they do their usual business at SGI. Summa summarum of the Workshop: OpenFoam on the GPU is a hot topic for many players in the OF-world. We have many players in the training area now (in Germany) available Gcompute&wikki, move-csc, DHCAE etc. Many consulting companies can support OF development in a wide area. More Guiīs will make the user experience more pleasent for the comand line agnostics |
Dear Elvis,
Many many thanks for the summary! Quote:

Mmmm... gotta make a big banner and/or button with the name "blueCFD" on the blueCAPE website, so people don't confuse the names anymore :D Many thanks once again! Best regards, Bruno |
Elvis,
Thanks for this very informative post. |
Hi Bruno,
I agree there is a communication problem in my eyes. Much happens on email-discussions that you only hear about on OF-workshop or on the come together like the German "Stammtisch". For students there is the Chalmers Course by Håkan Nilsson as a first step to get in touch with OF, and there are "two" Summer schools (in Zagreb and the newest in Brasil) for the high level teaching of OF. |
presentation material
Hello organizers,
Congratulations for the 7th edition. I hope I will be in the next. Is the presentation material available for download? Please, can someone give a link? Regards, aerothermal |

Follow-Up
Final Presentations & Download Instructions Dear FOAMers, Dear OFW7 attendees: THANK YOU AGAIN! The Mathematical Modeling and Analysis (MMA) Group at the Center of Smart Interfaces (TU Darmstadt) has had a great time organizing the 7th OpenFOAM Workshop and hosting you! We hope you have had a safe trip home from Darmstadt! Thanks for all your contributions which have made the 7th OpenFOAMŪ Workshop a great success. Also thanks for all positive feedback we got so far -- it is very much appreciated! With this notification we would like to call for all presentation slides and posters having been presented at the Technical and Poster Sessions of the 7th OpenFOAM Workshop. Please upload your slides using our upload form: http://www.extend-project.de/ofw7-uploads Note that you need to login first. The convention for naming the final files for public download is Final-FirstnameLastnameSlidesOFW7.xxx resp. Final-FirstnameLastnamePosterOFW7.xxx with xxx being either a ppt/pptx (MS Power Point) or pdf (Adobe). Note that we will not use any document not following this name convention or being in an other format than stated above. Please think about using embedded animations, e.g., use the animate or media9 package for pdf from LaTeX. Alternatively, to the above (elegant) approach, you can also provide a zip or tgz file, which MUST FOLLOW THE SAME NAME CONVENTION: Final-FirstnameLastnameSlidesOFW7.tgz or Final-FirstnameLastnameSlidesOFW7.zip. Deadline for all uploads will be 2 week after the workshop closing, that is Friday 13, 12:00 (high noon) - What a great deadline! Up to now, we have received ~50% of the workshop presentation slides. Please make sure that your slides are named properly such that we can provide them to the public using scripts. P.S.: Also I am very happy receiving any pictures you have taken during the workshop. Please send them to me: marschall@csi.tu-darmstadt.de. THANKS! P.P.S.: Please note that the server 'MERIDA' targeted in all scripts has been TEMPORARILY used for the workshop ONLY. We will provide an updated script and an updated ISO asap. However, meanwhile all updates from merida will work. I am also attaching the updated download script pointing to the final data location. --- Yours, The Local OpenFOAMŪ Workshop Committee Holger Marschall - ofw7@openfoamworkshop.org The core team (Kathrin Kissling, Kerstin Schmitt, Tomislav Maric and me) wishes you further success in FOAMing and hopes to see you soon on community events (not necessarily organized by us in near future). ;) |
Thank you for the wonderful Workshop in Darmstadt,
however I wonder why the Presentation OpenFOAMŪ - A year in review by Hrv Jasak is not in the download available, because that is what many want to read. |

All the best, Tomislav & Holger |
Dear organizers,
Congratulations for the organization of the 7th edition. I download the available presentations, but is it normal that the training presentations aren't included ? Thanks. Best Regards. |
some archive files are broken
Dear organizers,
I've download some presentation archives, but these were broken. Would you please mend these archives? Or please upload original pdf files instead of tgz archives. Best Regards. |
