Getting Started

Open the terminal and create the project directory in /work :

$ mkdir FOAM_RUN

Copy the tutorial examples directory in the OpenFOAM distribution, to the run directory.

Run an example case:

$ cd FOAM_RUN
$ cp -r $FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressibleFluid/pitzDailySteady .
$ cd pitzDailySteady
$ ./AllRun

Paraview

Visualization of OpenFOAM results can be done clicking on the Paraview desktop icon or from terminal with the command

$ paraview
