![]() MSys is also included and configured to provide a near Linux experience, thus enabling the original scripts of OpenFOAM to work, with some minor tweaks to improve the functionality. It should be easily updated to more recent versions. MPICH2 1.2.1p1 is used for parallel processing with OpenFOAM, on 32 and 64bit Windows versions. Python is included in ParaView's installation. The version packaged with blueCFD is the version that uses MS-MPI for parallel operations. Paraview 3.8.0 available in 32 and 64bit Windows versions, is not built by blueCAPE but is the official version from It includes the plugin vtkPOpenFOAMReader, a native FOAM file reader, which has proven so far to be more reliable than the original plug-in that comes with OpenFOAM. The code packages include the modifications that allow building OpenFOAM 1.7 with gcc 4.4.4 with mingw32, mingw-w32 and mingw-w64. More specifically, this is a limitation only due to Windows not having a fully case sensitive file system by default. The downloadable installation package will resort to the official online documentation provided by OpenCFD.Īlthough the code documentation is available, the code itself is packaged independently (in the DVD version only, downloadable version will guide you to the wiki), and should only be used in compatible platforms, such as Linux or Cygwin 1.7. In the DVD version, the code documentation was rebuilt, to provide a compact Qt help file, thus providing over 500MB of HTML files and images, in one single 220MB easy to use file, using Qt's Assistant application for the help. Nonetheless, Discretizer is still under development and still has many missing functionalities. This provides two Graphical User Interfaces for creating meshes and interacting with OpenFOAM. There are 3 flavors of OpenFOAM in this package:ĭiscretizer ( SVN version June 30th of 2010 is now included and should be as operational as in Linux. The only features currently unavailable are: fully case-sensitive file names native compiling of OpenFOAM libraries and applications on Windows directly handling compressed files with the Scotch library. The optional mesh converter "ccm26ToFoam" is also included, but not tested. Almost all of the features listed on the release notes of OpenFOAM 1.7 are available here. OpenFOAM 1.7 is running on Windows XP/Vista/7, both 32 and 64bit versions. ![]() Discretizer has been added to the blueCFD package, to provide a GUI meshing utility and can also work as a GUI for using OpenFOAM. Paraview uses MS-MPI for parallel processing, but it can also read multi-processor runs with a single core. MPICH2 is used for running OpenFOAM with a multi-core and multi-machine environment. The vtkPOpenFOAMReader is the plug-in used in Paraview, for reading OpenFOAM simulation files, because it offers better support for large files and multi-platform. It also includes the official Paraview 3.8.0, in 32 and 64bit versions. It provides a near Linux experience through MSys. 1 - IntroductionīlueCFD is a service package of a high quality cross-compiled build version of OpenFOAM(R) for Windows XP, Vista and Seven (32 and 64bit), with some additional tweaks, executables and scripts, in order to maintain usability under a Windows environment.
