Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) workbench using OpenFOAM

[Mx74]

Hello Thomas,

Thanks a lot for your help.
I got my mistake. I was trying to mesh two different objects, the computational domain and the object to analyse.
I didn't realized I had to make only one object by soustracting both.

Again, many thanx !

I made some module moving to get a simpler module stucture. This will be stay in 0.17 release! FemCommands is femcommands.manager now. Just have a look at up to date master. It will be easy to fix for you.

Is the dependency checker in the windows version working currently? Running into a couple errors and I'm not sure if it is my system that is the issue or what:



When I try to go into the workbench (I know it isn't properly installed yet, obviously) I get a warning about a workbench failure which is not surprising but the reason is "No module FemCommands".

Not sure what exactly the issue is but I am assuming I am doing something wrong if the problem is not with the dependency checker.

Hi KDL,
welcome to the freecad-forum.
For cfd I use an older Version, the FC0.17.12772_x64 (before bernd moved the FEM-modules... )
You can download the version from my dropbox:

Setting up the cfd-workbench:
At first I separetly installed the bluecfdcore 2016_1 version including MPI7.1, paraview and notepad.
Then I installed gnuplot / cfmesh (in this order) via preferences-cfd. Everthing works.
Last weekend I tried an installation of the new bluecfdcore 2017 version. When installing cfmesh
via preferences, after 2 min the process stopps with error. No idea why...
Needed some hours and a sixpack beer.
Cheers Thomas

drinking a sixpack beer and afterwards give the new installed CFD a try ... no wonder you have such very cool modell ideas. https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 02#p204663

https://github.com/jaheyns/CfdOF/blob/1 ... sis.py#L32
is:

Code: Select all

from PyGui.FemCommands import FemCommands

should be:

Code: Select all

 from femcommands.manager import CommandManager

https://github.com/jaheyns/CfdOF/blob/1 ... sis.py#L41
is:

Code: Select all

class _CommandCfdAnalysis(FemCommands)

should be:

Code: Select all

class _CommandCfdAnalysis(CommandManager)

this change should be made in all modules starting with _CommandFollowedBySomeName in https://github.com/jaheyns/CfdOF/tree/1 ... 056b938143

Hello Oliver,

On twitter I saw a post stating you calculated the drag coefficient of the Millennium Falcon:
https://twitter.com/ex_mente/status/936562984914210816

could you write a little something about that with a few pictures in the user showcase? I would love to use this on our Facebook site with the release of the new star wars film

Sorry for the delay - I'll try to put a few pictures together if it's not too late.
