So it can be used in automated CAD design and simulation pipeline, see example Ĭoupling with FenicsSolver, a multiphysics FEA solver set, has been demonstrated in early 2018. See example in FoamCaseBuilder/testĪn independent python module, FoamCaseBuilder (LGPL), can work with and without FreeCAD to build up case for OpenFOAM Python script and GUI to run a basic laminar flow simulation is supported by Cfd Workbench. For engineering application, please seek support from other commercial CFD software.

Limited by the long solving time and mesh quality sensitivity of CFD problem, this module will not as good as FEM module. This module aims to accelerate CFD case build up. This CFD module now have a subforum in FreeCAD's official forum, see the link: LGPL license as FreeCAD Features and limitation Please file bugs and feature request in, in the issue report, you can link to FreeCAD forum discussion thread. Features from CSIR fork may be picked up in the future if agreed, but CfdOF is GPL licensed. Meanwhile, this repo still targets at preparing real-world case files from FreeCAD goemetry for advanced users, which also means user needs to tweak the OpenFOAM case files in production environment.

The team from CSIR South Africa, 2016 has significant contribution to this repo:ĬSIR team has forked this repo into, focusing on usability for new users and OpenFOAM. A computional fluid dynamics (CFD) module for FreeCADĪn advanced open source CAD integrated CFD preprocessing tool to enable automated one-stop CFD simulation
