Questions about OpenFOAM, ParaView and DSMC
 

hi
I have installed openfoam2.1.1 and I am a bignner in the openfoam and I have some question:
1-what differnce between open foam and paraview?
2-I run paraview but I can't see any Icon for openfoam!!?
3-where can I find some example for paraview or open foam?
4-how can I install the DSMC in to the liberary in openfoam?

Greetings Hadi,

OpenFOAM is a CFD toolbox.
ParaView is usually the only GUI Post-Processor provided with OpenFOAM.
DSMC comes pre-installed with OpenFOAM.

For more, you better start reading the User Guide: http://www.openfoam.org/docs/user/

Good luck!
