Thank you very very much Bernd, I was having very hard time to understand what I am suppose to do. With this video from you I started understanding at least some of the steps between FreeCAD and Paraview.

Thanks for sharing this video, i saw on the screen some that it can help me install Freecad with OF successfully this time, in other times It wasn't successfully installed.
Thank you for your positive feedback. The flow across a building is similar to the flow around a car. You a video about the flow around a car in tutorial #6: ua-cam.com/video/KWbUaiE9SBc/v-deo.html In the freecad-forum, you will please find an example for the flow around a CAARC-standard-building: forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=68164&sid=20997e127a6d4d3afa7a6a15ae95908b
Hi shuvashishroy6006, a constraint like a wall would also be feasible. Please mind that this tutorial is about starting FreeCad CfdOf, so I made the most simple calculation possible. Constraints / boundary conditions can be interpreted physically or mathematically. A wall with no slip for examples defines mathematically the speed (= zero) and the pressure. A symmetric boundary condition defines the symmetry of this object, means, that anything that happens in the left half is identical with the right half. I chose a symmetric boundary condition because for postprocessing, you can interpret anything you see as a slide through this system. If you take a look on my tutorial about cars (ua-cam.com/video/KWbUaiE9SBc/v-deo.html), you will understand how a symmetric boundary condition works. A symmetric boundary conditions has advantages in postprocessing (= similar to a slide through an object) and advantages in calculation time (= half of the calculation time)
Sir, in 2:51 I didn't see OpenFoam install directory and paraview executable path automatically. In my case, they are blank and I don't know which file I should use. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks for the tutorial!
Sir, thank you very much for your question. May I kindly ask you to post your question in the FreeCad-Forum (forum.freecad.org/viewforum.php?f=37)? In the FreeCad-Forum, you will find more experts who can answer your question. When posting your question, please also write your OS (Windows 10, Windows 11, Linux, ...) and the FreeCad-Version and the CfdOf-Version you are currently using. Please notice that my tutorial is 1 year old, in this video, I am describing the installation of the blueCFD-package. Meanwhile, the installation of the MinGW package became possible. The installation of the MinGW package is similar to the installation of the blueCFD-package, but there are some slight differences. For this reason, please post in the FreeCad-forum if you tried to install the blueCFD-package or the MinGW package.
Could you please ask your question in the CfdOf-subforum of the FreeCad-Forum? You will find the subforum here: forum.freecad.org/viewforum.php?f=37. In the FreeCad-Forum, you will find many experts who can help you.
Great introduction. Unfortunately tried importing a file that was originally done in Rhino into FreeCAD and could not get the CFD to work. If I have a native Rhino file what is the best format to export it in so that it can be read correctly in FreeCAD?
could you do a video of this smae process but with a small wind turbine blade? that would be very helpful becasue i do not know what counts as inlet and outlet
If you need information, please write your request clearly and in detail. In any case, it is better to make this request in the FreeCad forum than here. And please don't use abbreviations. The abbreviation "smae" doesn't mean anything to me, so I can't answer your question. I have recorded 15 tutorials about FreeCad CfdOf, isn't there a tutorial that will help you with your question? You always have to understand the basics first, so my first tutorials will help you before you can tackle more complicated questions.
@@techbernd5535 oh, the word smae was a typo of the word "same" haha. Thats my phones fault. To answer your question "inst there a tutorial that can help you with your question?" There is not, hence why i was asking :) I will start on the freecad forums and go from there. Thank you :)

That's a very difficult question, and I can only give you a rough answer: Snappy Hex Mesh is part of CfdOf, you can use Snappy Hex Mesh as part of CfdOf. Importing "external" meshes (e.g. from Ansys) is not so easy, because the boundary conditions are also processed when the mesh generator is started. This means: You can import an external FEM mesh, but you will have great difficulty setting boundary conditions for it. I have looked into this problem, but have not found a solution. But that does not mean that there is no solution, I am not an expert on this topic, please ask this question in the FreeCad forum, there you will find many experts who can answer your question.

Is there a reason face7 isn’t constrained (eg. also as a wall)? Is does the symmetry on face8 mean that the opposite face doesn’t need to constrained? Thanks for this tutorial series, I think they will help a lot 👍
@rhodriwilliams2891: You are right, face 7 is not constrained. That was a mistake that happened to me during the recording. Normally, this surface should also be constrained.
