Engineering services using OpenFOAM(R)

OpenFOAM is said to be one of the most widely used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools in the world as an open-source numerical fluid analysis software. Being open-source offers significant advantages, such as eliminating costs for additional licenses when the number of users increases and enabling calculations for large-scale models that require many cores. However, it is also true that, due to its open-source nature, there are hurdles to adoption, such as concerns about whether it can be applied to specific challenges and the quality of the software. Currently, OpenCFD, the developer of OpenFOAM, is under the umbrella of ESI Group, and a community focused on development and maintenance has been established, leading to the continuous evolution of OpenFOAM. Additionally, ESI Group offers comprehensive CAE services based on OpenFOAM, which differ from typical commercial CFD software. In this seminar, we will introduce the current state of the community, the services provided by ESI Group, and examples from the shipbuilding and marine industries. The content will also be of interest to those in industries outside of shipbuilding and marine, so we encourage you to take this opportunity to watch.
