Gmsh VS OpenFOAM

I'm not sure if this is correct place, since my issue is most likely cmake related rather than c++, but I would like to ask anyway. So I'm trying to set up a project, which is new to me (this was usually done by someone else already). I would like to add the 3rd party library gmsh to the setup, but my CMake seems to incorrectly (or not all) link the lib. Source: 5 months ago

Depending on what you are planning on trying to do. Goma and OpenFOAMare both free to download and use. You can create a mesh with gmsh for free. Source: over 1 year ago

Mostly for work. I need to run some CFD models (OpenFOAM -https://openfoam.org/). But I also need to do pre-processing to create the models. I will use YADE (https://www.yade-dem.org/) and GMSH (http://gmsh.info/) for this. I think that for OpenFOAM it is more important to have good processors but for YADE and GMSH I think that I will also need a decent GPU. Source: over 2 years ago

I tried Gmsh with the script from Prof Geuzaine, and it work pretty well. Http://gmsh.info/ Script: Http://geuz.org/photos/cg/cg.geo. Source: about 3 years ago

In openfoam.org, there is not compiled binaries for Debian (any version). So one should install it using docker (I prefer to do not use it) or by compiling the code from the source. I consider compiling from source, but I do prefer binaries. Source: 10 months ago

Hello I am a mechanical engineering student in my last year. So I made the wisest decision to learn OpenFOAM. But there is the catch. I have no idea how to use Linux or how to emulate Linux on Windows 10. I found a lot of videos on Youtube how to download an start OpenFOAM but every one of them was using different methods each time so I got confused. Can anyone please help or direct me? Thank you for your answers... Source: about 1 year ago

As far as air flow simulation, I got slightly farther with Open Foam than I did in FreeCAD directly. Still, I got in way over my skill level and stopped before getting anything useful. Source: about 1 year ago

There are two versions of openfoam, one closed source (which is the one I linked to in my original comment, my apologies about that) and the open source version. But what you're describing makes it sound like fenics might be your best option. Source: over 1 year ago

I suggest you install per the instructions at openfoam.com or openfoam.org instead of using apt. Source: over 1 year ago
