This Docker image is for experimenting OpenFOAM and Calculix for fluid-structure interaction.
About OpenFOAM
OpenFOAM (for "Open source Field Operation And Manipulation") is a C++ toolbox for the development of customized numerical solvers, and pre-/post-processing utilities for the solution of continuum mechanics problems, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The code is released as free and open source software under the GNU General Public License. The OpenFOAM name was registered by OpenCFD Ltd in 2007 and non-exclusively licensed to the OpenFOAM Foundation Ltd in 2011.
About CalculiX
CalculiX is a free, open-source software for solving three-dimensional structural mechanics using the finite element method. With CalculiX Finite Element Models can be build, calculated and post-processed. The pre- and post-processor is an interactive 3D-tool using OpenGL. The solver is able to do linear and non-linear calculations. Static, dynamic and thermal solutions are available. The solver makes use of the abaqus input format, and its pre-processor can write mesh related data for nastran, abaqus, ansys, code-aster and for the free-cfd codes dolfyn, duns, ISAAC and OpenFOAM. A simple STEP reader is included. In addition external CAD interfaces like vda_to_fbd are available.
A number of example FEA models for CalculiX can be found at mkraska/CalculiX-Examples.
