Best OpenFoam tutorials for beginners ?
Here are some of the best OpenFOAM tutorials for beginners to get you started:
Official Resources:
- OpenFOAM Wiki Tutorials: The official OpenFOAM Wiki offers a comprehensive collection of tutorials categorized by skill level and topic. The "First Glimpse" series and "3 Weeks" series are particularly well-suited for beginners (https://wiki.openfoam.com/Tutorials).
Is there a possibility to install OpenFoam on Windows ?
While OpenFOAM itself isn't officially supported on Windows, there are a couple of ways to run it on your Windows machine:
-
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL): This is the recommended approach by the OpenFOAM community. WSL allows you to run a Linux distribution like Ubuntu directly within Windows. You can then install OpenFOAM on the Linux subsystem and access it through the command line. This offers a more native OpenFOAM experience.
-
Docker: Docker provides a containerized environment for running applications. There are pre-built Docker images available for OpenFOAM. This can be a good option if you don't want to deal with installing Linux directly on your system.
For what cases in Ansys CFD software I can use isotropic materials , and where anisotropic ?
In Ansys CFD software, you'll use isotropic materials when the material properties are the same in all directions, and anisotropic materials when the properties vary depending on direction. Here's a breakdown to guide your material selection:
What is thermal analysis in Ansys and what is used for ?
Ansys is a powerful engineering simulation software that can be used for various analysis tasks, and thermal analysis is one of its key capabilities.
