On this page I will be posting video tutorials made in the external FreeCAD workbench called CfdOF.
The CfdOF workbench serves as a front-end (GUI) for the popular OpenFOAM software, and it allows users to set up and run CFD analyzes within FreeCAD. OpenFOAM is a well-known free software that is used to perform calculations using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods.
In these tutorials, you can see how to select the relevant physics, set material properties, generate a mesh, set boundary conditions, set up the solver...
If you design aircrafts, ships, rockets, hydraulic or pneumatic systems... these tutorials are for you.
If you are interested in FEM analysis, go to the page FEM workbench - FreeCAD tutorials.
