About Course

Product Overview

This tutorial focuses on post-processing techniques in OpenFOAM using various built-in functionObjects. Accurate and insightful post-processing is critical in CFD, as it allows engineers to interpret and communicate the results of their simulations effectively. Through this training, you’ll learn how to extract meaningful information from your simulations such as field extremes, average values, point-specific probes, and wall shear stress—particularly demonstrated on a Poiseuille flow example.

Ideal for CFD engineers and students, this product helps bridge the gap between raw simulation data and real-world conclusions, comparisons, and validations.
