Utilities

  • Utilities are supporting tools for CFD processes, e.g. preprocessing, postprocessing, data conversion and manipulation, etc. …
  • Source code of utilities is located in the path of system variable $FOAM_UTILITIES
  • You can jump to the OpenFOAM utilities directory e.g using system
    variable $FOAM_UTILITIES:
    # cd $FOAM_UTILITIES
  • You can jump to the OpenFOAM utilities directory e.g using alias util:
    # util
    # ll
  • Basic types of utilities:
