FreeFOAM is a cross-platform toolkit for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based on OpenFOAM®. It is geared towards "freeing" OpenFOAM from its system dependence, enabling it to run natively on a variety of operating systems. Currently it still requires a Unix-like environment. FreeFOAM has been tested to build (and partially to run) on
Ubuntu 11.04
FreeFOAM uses the excellent cross-platform build system CMake thanks to which FreeFOAM can now be installed just like any other software and doesn’t depend on a slew of shell init scripts and a huge number of environment variables to build and run, making live easier for system administrators and users alike.
This release candidate 7 of FreeFOAM 0.1.0 is only intended for testing purposes. Refer to the enclosed INSTALL file for installation and usage instructions.
For an overview of the changes and new features added to FreeFOAM, consult the ChangeLog file. For the detailed list of changes, refer to the log provided by the FreeFOAM GIT repository.
