Re: Methods/Tutorials to generate mesh with internal boundaries?
The pipe walls should be some form of wall boundary (i.e., impermeable to the fluid), which yes, you will need to assign. You will probably need some form of inlet patch on the opening of the pipe outside the cube, and you may need to create a face across the opening to achieve this. Meshers need wh...

Re: How to do blood flow simulation and air movement in lung simulation
Those are absolutely things that it is possible to simulate with CFD/FEA in general, but as NewJoker says, it's an extremely difficult topic because of the complex behavior of the materials (tissue) involved. Whether it would be possible to simulate with CfdOF would depend on what precisely about lu...

Re: Installing CfdOF on a Mac
As of when I installed OpenFOAM on my Mac, I had to create a separate disk space for the OpenFOAM install that was case sensitive (Mac Unix is not case sensitive). That disk space needs to be mounted and "running" for CfdOF to find it, and the way to achieve that is to run the source comma...

Re: cfdof workbench
Do you want to change the number of slots your machine has available or the number of slots CfdOF requests?

Re: Part versus Part Design for CfdOF models ?
The big difference is that Part Design defaults to solids and Part defaults to shells (or at least, converts more easily to shells). The OpenFOAM mesher works based on a boundary surface, not a solid region, so the parts that are built as shells from the ground up instead of being converted partway ...

Re: Help with hisa and cfmesh for CFD
I humbly suggest that the above documentation should recommend that the user install the OpenFoam devel package for their distribution and then test if wmake is installed. FWIW, wmake is not available in the standard Fedora repositories. The documentation is incorporated into the CfdOF GitLab repos...

Re: Can't create a porous baffle inside a "BooleanFragments"
The CFD workbench does not play well with the CfdOF workbench-they use too many of the same file names with slightly different contents. I wouldn't recommend using it anyway, they forked a while ago and CfdOF has a lot more functionality and a better interface.

Re: Help with hisa and cfmesh for CFD
From the CfdOF Readme's Linux installation section: The dependencies can be installed manually, or as part of a docker container (refer to Docker container install below). Manual installation may be undertaken for OpenFOAM (OpenCFD or Foundation versions), Paraview and Gmsh (optional) by using the l...

Re: Addon Manager Redesign 2021
Yeah, but most of the point of buying someone a beer is sitting down to drink one of your own with them, and I think most people, after the last couple years, would say that doing it by video chat really isn't the same. It's not about the actual cost of the drink.

Re: status of docker compatibility
I'm not the person who would be approving that (or not), but I think whether that would be worthwhile depends on what your goals are. What is the benefit of docker over a native install on Linux/Mac? I used openfoam in docker on a mac for a while, and I found myself constantly having to shuffle file...
