2.1 advanced

2.2 conversion

  • cfxToFoam Converts a CFX mesh to OpenFOAM format.
  • gmshToFoam Reads .msh file as written by Gmsh. Does not use physical type of mesh quantities yet.
  • ideasToFoam Converts an ANSYS input mesh file, exported from I-DEAS, to OpenFOAM format.
  • kivaToFoam Converts a KIVA3v grid to OpenFOAM format.
  • mshToFoam Reads .msh format generated by the Adventure system.
  • sammToFoam Converts a STAR-CD SAMM mesh to OpenFOAM format.
  • starToFoam Converts a STAR-CD PROSTAR mesh into OpenFOAM format.
  • tetgenToFoam Reads .ele and .node and .face files as written by tetgen.
  • writeMeshObj For mesh debugging: writes mesh as three separate OBJ files which can be viewed with e.g. javaview

2.3 generation

2.4 manipulation

3 miscellaneous

4 parallelProcessing

5 postProcessing

6 Pre-processing

  • boxTurb Makes a box of turbulence which conforms to a given energy spectrum and is divergence free,
  • engineSwirl Generates a swirling flow for engine calulations.
  • FoamX Case management tool.
  • mapFields Maps volume fields from one mesh to another, reading and interpolating all fields present in the time directory of both cases. Parallel and non-parallel cases are handled without the need to reconstruct them first.
