However, it is more convenient to use a CAD software package for creating more complex geometries and use a separate software for meshing. Simple geometries can be created and meshed within OpenFOAM (see the lid-driven cavity flow example below). These include pre-processing (geometry/part creation and meshing), simulation, and post-processing. Our team of Developers, Application Specialists, Trainers and Testers are located globally in far-east Asia, India, Europe and North America.Modeling with OpenFOAM involves multiple steps. Our mission is to sustain the future of OpenFOAM as the highly functional, freely available and open source CFD software, offering a long-term and viable complement to CFD codes which are constrained by licence costs and multi-user, multi-processor cost inflation. OpenCFD Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of the ESI Group. the owner of the OpenFOAM Trademark directly released its version of OpenFOAM from January 2016 to the present day. continued to manage and develop OpenFOAM, preparing all releases whose IP was later transferred to and released by OpenFOAM Foundation Inc. OpenCFD Ltd has been managing and developing OpenFOAM since its debut in 2004, releasing all versions prior to 8th August 2011, when OpenCFD transferred the IP rights to the US foundation "OpenFOAM Foundation, inc.". OpenFOAM releases are scheduled every six months in June and December. Tests are designed to assess regression behaviour, memory usage, code performance and scalability. The process of code evaluation, verification and validation includes several hundred daily unit tests, a medium-sized test battery run on a weekly basis, and large industry-based test battery run prior to new version releases.
Quality assurance is based on rigorous testing. It is independently tested by ESI-OpenCFD's Application Specialists, Development Partners and selected customers, and supported by ESI's worldwide infrastructure, values and commitment.
OpenFOAM is professionally released every six months to include customer sponsored developments and contributions from the community. OpenFOAM has an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to acoustics, solid mechanics and electromagnetics. It has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organisations.
OpenFOAM is the free, open source CFD software developed primarily by OpenCFD Ltd since 2004.
