Hi,

Having worked with Code_Saturne, I am trying to get starting with Openfoam. I was wondering if there was a case manager GUI such as the Simplefoam one that ships with CAELInux, or the now defunct FoamX?

I have a cube in a box model prepared in Salome, meshed it in tetahedrons, named my inlet, outlet, and wall faces, and exported to UNV, but now there are a mariad of folders and files that have to be in place before I even run ideasUnvToFoam or even check the mesh.

It looks like OpenFoam can solve a lot of different types of cases, but I don't see a lot of documentation on how to prepare simple scripts, nor do I see firm information on which files must be in place. Some documentation does not even state that certain folders have to be in place at all.

I cannot help but think that there must be a easier way to do a simple test, even if it means that a have a .zip/tar/7z of dummy folders and a sample script to edit. It is one thing to give a rundown of all of a program's commands; it is another to give contextual information and some real world examples.

I don't know whose idea it was to remove FoamX, but it's a boom for commercial solvers.

Any help would be appreciated.
