SolveSpace OpenFOAMSolveSpace might be a bit more popular than OpenFOAM. We know about 20 links to it since March 2021 and only 19 links to OpenFOAM. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
Is it feasible to run this on something large like Solvespace[1] (CAD) which is ~5MB executable? Or would we just get an insanely long list of issues? [1] https://solvespace.com/index.pl There are hundreds of numerical algorithms in there, and we have some bugs that might be related to this kind of implementation error. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
If you want to quickly sketch and simulate the motion of linkages, I can recommend using Solvespace: https://solvespace.com/index.pl. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
Https://solvespace.com/index.pl When you learn that completely and then outgrow it, you're probably going back to FreeCAD, or maybe blender with the CAD-sketcher addon. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
Give solvespace a try. It is very limited compared to the ones you listed. However I find it enjoyable, fun you may even say, to use. But I have to admit I would have a hard time using it professionally. https://solvespace.com/index.pl. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
I know you posted in the Freecad sub but you could also consider Solvespace for your modeling needs. It's opensource and much lighter on your computer resources and still quite capable. For your 3D printing needs, it might be good enough. Source: over 1 year 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
