System requirements

cfMesh is developed and tested on Linux and MS Windows.

Installation

Binaries and the source code can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/cfmesh/

Building from Sources (Optional)

cfMesh can be built with recent versions of OpenFOAM and foam-extend. In order to build the library, a working OpenFOAM environment is needed. The build started by the Allwmake script located in this folder. It can be built with gcc and mingw compilers which support OpenMP (gcc-4.2.4 and above). Other compilers are not tested. This instructions are valid for Linux, only. We encourage Windows users to download the binary package.

Getting Started

Copy the ‘tutorials’ examples directory in the cfMesh distribution to the ‘run’ directory. If the OpenFOAM environment variables are set correctly, then the following command will work correctly:

  • cp -r tutorials $FOAM_RUN

Run the first example case of a simplified car body:

  • cd $FOAM_RUN/tutorials/asmoOctree
  • cartesianMesh

All cases have Allrun and Allclean scripts guiding you through the meshing process.
