OpenFOAM is leading software for computational fluid dynamics (CFD), licensed free and open source, with a user base spanning industry, government research and academia worldwide. We demonstrate here a GUI-based tool using AFid, for quickly and easily creating and replicating mesh spacing rules (for use in snappyHexMesh) based on matching STL geometry components – in this case the wheels. This allows an end user to specify a mesh spacing rule once for a given component type, and automatically repeat that rule for any matching geometry.
OPENFOAM® is a registered trade mark of OpenCFD Limited, producer and distributor of the OpenFOAM software via www.openfoam.com.
