Happy new year folks, for all the new users as well as experienced users, here is a short update regarding the connection of CAESES / FRIENDSHIP Framework and OpenFOAM. Since the software release 3.1.1 (the free version as well as the commercial version) you can now find two tutorials showing you how to connect to OpenFOAM. This makes CAESES / FRIENDSHIP Framework a nice GUI to run CFD simulations with OpenFOAM. By using these two powerful software you can vary and optimise partially-parametric and fully parametric CAD models of any kind. If you are interested in an Open Water Propeller simulation you can go through the tutorial "Propeller with OpenFOAM". Another tutorial shows you how to setup a simulation for a SDuct for internal flow. Moreover you can still find the Ahmed Body sample which includes a complete OpenFOAM setup. See this post, if you don't know how to get started with CAESES / FRIENDSHIP Framework: GETTING STARTED If you have questions you can search the FORUM for "OpenFOAM" or create your own post. Have fun! Cheers Matthias
