User Guides

In Construction

This page is still a work in progress. We are aiming to bring in the old documentation we have from blueCFD-Core 2.3-1, but the objective is to contribute as much as possible to the openfoamwiki.net website, so that everyone can contribute.

Reminder: blueCFD-Core provides ports of OpenFOAM (the one from the OpenFOAM Foundation) for running directly on Windows, therefore the official OpenFOAM Foundation User Guides should also work with our ports.

Graphical User Interface (GUI)

blueCFD-Core does not provide a GUI for using OpenFOAM, but there are already several GUIs developed by others that use blueCFD-Core:

Note: Other GUIs used blueCFD-Core in the past, but are no longer using it (September 2024).
