Introductory Programming Training in OpenFOAM® technology |
|
The purpose of this training is to introduce structure of the OPENFOAM® software so, that trainees will be able to modify and create solvers or utilitiies, and also modify some basic library components, like turbulence models or boundary conditions.
The course includes optional day for C++ introduction. Since object oriented programming is a complicated subject as such, trainees are encouraged to gain some prior knowledge of the subject before the training. Suitable source for prior information is for example C++ Language Tutorial.
The C++ introduction day serves as refreshment for those who have been trained in C++ in past, but have never become expert programmers. The three remaining days can be attended without the optional C++ introduction day, since even though the tutorials and examples of the C++ day are valid in OPENFOAM®, they contain no extra information for an routinised C++ programmer.
Objectives of the training
- Introduce C++ (optional)
- Introduce data structure in OPENFOAM®
- Explore the OPENFOAM® code structure and commonly used classes
- Analyse, modify and create solvers and utilities
- Understand and customise OPENFOAM® libraries
OPENFOAM® and OpenFOAM® are the registered trade marks of OpenCFD Limited, the producer of the OpenFOAM® software.
This offering is not approved or endorsed by OpenCFD Limited, the producer of the OpenFOAM® software and owner of the OPENFOAM® and OpenCFD® trade marks.
