Creating a customized software tool using OpenFoam libraries

vishnu_240 · January 19, 2015, 05:01

Hi all,
I knew that a software tool can be created using Open Cascade for CAD applications, similarly can I create a software tool for CFD applications using Open Foam libraries, if so can you please refer some links or any documents?

Yes you can, but the documentation is the tricky part.

There is the official "OpenFOAM Programmer's Guide" (google will help you find it), but that is probably not exactly what you are looking for.

Otherwise there are a lot of tutorials scattered around on the web. A very good starting point is the "OpenFOAM programming tutorial" by Tommaso Lucchini, you should find that one on the CHALMERS web pages.
