⁠solids4foam

solids4foam - a finite volume toolbox for solid mechanics and fluid solid interaction simulations

⁠What is this repository for?

solids4foam is toolbox for OpenFOAM with capabilities for solid mechanics and fluid solid interactions.

⁠Where do I start?

Start with the solids4foam documentation⁠, located in the documentation directory.

⁠How do I get set up?

To get setup, you must first install OpenFOAM, using one of the following versions:

• foam-extend-4.0
• foam-extend-4.1
• OpenFOAM-7
• OpenFOAM-v1812
• OpenFOAM-v1912

Once a version of OpenFOAM has been installed, download solids4foam and then run the enclosed Allwmake script to compile solids4foam.

solids4foam is primarily developed on foam-extend-4.0 so some of the features are yet to be ported to the other versions.

⁠Contribution guidelines

If you would like to contribute code and/or test cases to solids4foam, please email: [email protected]⁠

⁠Who do I talk to?

solids4foam is developed by Philip Cardiff and Zeljko Tukovic, with contributions for many others, in particular Danial Khazaei.

Emails: [email protected]⁠ and [email protected]⁠

⁠Where can I find more information?
