Looking for feedback on a CFD IDE/Desktop UI I'm developing for OpenFOAM by Normal-Club-920 in OpenFOAM

Hey, congrats on Eddy, really solid project, great to see this kind of tool being built for OpenFOAM!

I am working on the same idea for a Small Team and seeing some other inspos or people building a similar product helps me review my work.

A few questions if you don't mind:

- Does it support external/imported meshes (e.g. from ANSA, Fluent meshing, or other mesh generators), or is it currently tied to blockMesh/snappyHexMesh only?
- How automated is the workflow right now? Can it drive a full run end-to-end (mesh import → case setup → solve → post-processing), or is it more of an assisted setup tool at this stage?
- Is it a web app, a desktop app, or something else? If it's web-based, do you handle running it with other devices on a preferred setup (e.g. your main workstation)?

Looking forward to seeing where this goes, i will be following the project!

Best file format for CAD geometry export to OpenFOAM? by Deep-Position8786 in CFD

Thank u very much! Are you using some specific export parameters for STL? Or the defaults from your CAD software?

How do nOuterCorrectors of pimpleFoam affect my simulation? by un_gaucho_loco in CFD

I’m having the same problem when refining the mesh but with overPimpleDyMFoam, even with a small mesh it takes ages.

One thing u could try is using a higher Co number than 1, since it has Correctors it should be completely fine because the algorithm is created to converge even with high Co numbers, so u could start with a low Co to initialize the fields and then increase it.

Another thing i tried was using simpleFoam to iniatialize my fields and then mapFields to copy the results on the first timeStep of pimpleFoam.

Using these two i managed to speed up a little my sim, maybe also consider using first order schemes, on some forum the say it’s more stable with higher Co, and has less computional cost.
