Day 12

Welcome back to Day 12. Today we will continue to explore the possibilities OpenFOAM offers to extend the source code according to our needs. With this users are able to tackle all physical problems, which are described by partial differential equations. We will concentrate on implementing solvers, libraries as well as utilities.

• applications
• libraries
• utilitites
• function objects
• material models
• C++ funcionalities
• debugging

Go back to "3 weeks" series.

Programming - introduction

This series of videos gives you an excellent introduction to programming in OpenFOAM from a C++ point of view. Starting with small handy utilities you will further expand your understanding of programming in C++ and OpenFOAM. The topics covered are:

• C++ basics
• compilation
• code structure
• starting point
• testing
