OpenFOAM Experience? Anyone with Expertise?

AI Thread Summary
OpenFOAM primarily operates as a toolbox for C++, requiring users to engage with coding rather than relying on a graphical user interface like ANSYS Workbench. While it is not inherently GUI-based, there are third-party options available, such as Helyx and simFlow, that provide graphical interfaces for easier interaction. Users should be prepared for a programming-centric approach similar to that of ANSYS Classic. The discussion highlights the necessity of coding knowledge for effective use of OpenFOAM. Overall, familiarity with programming is essential for leveraging OpenFOAM's capabilities.

OpenFOAM is a toolbox for C++ so you will need to use it in a fashion identical to programming in C++.

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet?'

I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
