I have succeeded in getting OpenFOAM<\/a> working. I wasn’t able to install it correctly on windows, despite several attempts, but I did discover an excellent distribution of Linux called CAELinux<\/a>. This distribution is designed for engineers and programmers, and comes with a whole host of tools, including OpenFOAM. It also has code editors, the Arduino IDE, and visualsation tools for representing data (such as ParaView<\/a>). It even has Qt installed!<\/p>\n

I have been running CAELinux through the Oracle VM Virtual box<\/a>. I had used the previously for testing a Torque3D project, and it works very well. It seems to run quickly and reliably, with some exceptions. I am beginning to come around to linux as an operating system. I had never really used it before, with the exception of some experience using Ubuntu in college. However I have used both CAELinux and another distribution, the rec<\/p>\n

I was able, with some difficulty, to run the OpenFOAM “Motorbike tutorial”. This basically calculates the airflow around a motorbike object. I used Paraview to visualise the solution. I think I achieved relatively good results with it, although the learning curve with both OpenFOAM and paraview is very steep.<\/p>\n

The next step is to load my own custom models in place of the stock motorbike, and conduct CFD analysis on them.<\/p>\n
