OpenFOAM: C++ software for engineering simulation (CFD, stress analysis, etc.)

We provide our OpenFOAM (Field Operation and Manipulation) software package that can simulate anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics, electromagnetics and the pricing of financial options.

The core technology of OpenFOAM is a flexible set of efficient C++ modules. These are used to build an archive of: solvers, to simulate specific problems in engineering mechanics; utilities, to perform pre- and post-processing tasks ranging from simple data manipulations to visualisation and mesh processing; libraries, to create toolboxes that are accessible to the solvers/utilities, such as libraries of physical models.

While OpenFOAM can be used as a standard simulation package using the standard solvers, utilities and libraries, it offers much more. Since it is supplied a suite of C++ libraries, mostly with source code, users have total freedom to create or modify a solver, utility or library, either by themselves or with the help of Nabla consultants.

OpenFOAM is available for selected Linux/UNIX platforms.
