Geometry Creation in Solidworks5:54
Create a SolidWorks geometry, a 500 by 500 mm square extended to 5000 mm, export as STEP, import into salon for preprocessing, then run the solver and post-process.
Geometry Creation in Salome4:51
Open Salome and create new geometry by selecting the box icon; define a square with 5 by 5 dimensions, name it box1, then apply and close.
Pre-processing in Salome9:09
Import a SolidWorks STEP file into Salome, define boundary groups for inlet and outlet, create a 3D mesh, and export an unv file for OpenFOAM.
Setting up case Files using proper Solver5:40
In this OpenFOAM CFD tutorial, set up a case by preparing the 0, constant, and system folders, copying essential files, and configuring velocity boundaries and solvers.
Executing the Case Files using Blue-CFD Panel3:55
Post-Processing It using ParaView.4:22
Post-process OpenFOAM CFD results with ParaView by applying color maps, streamlines, and slices to visualize pressure, velocity, and temperature changes over time.

Description

The Course is all about about learning new software such as Salome, BulueCFD panel, ParaView.

Many Student Faces problem in setting up Boundary condition and solving the problem.

The purpose of this course is to give a simple and straightforward introduction to OpenFOAM covering common bugs and mistakes so that you can easily pass through the steep initial learning curve at your own pace. While the lessons learned here can be applied to any OpenFOAM solver (of which there is a substantial range), the focus is on solid mechanics since the implementation is typically much simpler than more popular applications (high speed flow, etc.). In addition, since solid mechanics is necessary for most engineering disciplines even if it isn't that discipline's primary interest (aerodynamics centres around the interaction between solid objects and fluid flows for example), solid mechanics is an excellent core skill to have and a necessary theoretical precursor to a healthy understanding of fluid dynamics of all forms.
