How to install OpenFOAM and run a simulation in Windows 10

In this video you can learn, how you can install OpenFOAM more or less natively in Windows 10. For this we will use the new Windows 10 feature called Bash on Ubuntu on Windows. I will also run a very short simulation to show you, that it really works.

The steps required to install OpenFOAM in Windows 10:

  • Enable developer mode
  • Enable Windows Subsystem for Linux + restart
  • Download and install Bash on Ubuntu on Windows
  • Download the tar file of OpenFOAM from openfoam.com
  • Extract tar file
  • Set OpenFOAM environment in .bashrc
  • Run simulation
