What you will learn
Understand the basic requirements of OpenFOAM computational modelling
Be able to take any tutorial file in OpenFOAM, set the case up for yourself and use geometries and boundaries of your choosing. Though we can't cover the majority of solvers, you should be in a position to explore particular solvers for yourself and learn on your own.
Create meshes and set up boundaries/initial conditions compatible with OpenFOAM
Be able to use the FOAM-Extend solid mechanics solver library.
Understand the foundations of steady/time dependent Linear Elasticity, Thermal Conduction, Friction and Plasticity for use in Aerospace, Mechanical and Manufacturing engineering applications

Our Verdict
The Complete Introduction to OpenFOAM course offers valuable insights into Computational Fluid Dynamics while solidifying basic principles. Navigating through outdated installations and compatibility issues can be challenging for newcomers initially, but once past these hurdles, learners can develop a strong foundation in OpenFOAM, laying the groundwork necessary to explore solvers and further innovate in Aerospace, Mechanical, and Manufacturing engineering applications.
What We Liked
- Covers foundational requirements of OpenFOAM computational modelling, enabling learners to use geometries and boundaries of their choosing
- Detailed breakdown of files in a typical OpenFOAM case, serving as a comprehensive reference for simple cases
- Extensive demonstration of Blender, helping learners swiftBlock integration
- Well-structured course design, making it suitable for both beginners and those with some experience
- Explains the physics behind problems in an effective manner, setting a solid foundation
Potential Drawbacks
- Outdated information regarding software versions, causing compatibility issues with newer releases
- Relies on learner's existing knowledge for certain areas like OpenFOAM7 installation and usage
- Lacks in-depth exploration of solvers, analytical solutions, and example cases for foam-extend installations
- Overemphasis on software installations, leading to delayed practical demonstrations
- Lacks visual aids and pictures, resulting in verbose and monotonous content delivery
