The purpose of this library is to support working with the OpenSource CFD-toolbox OpenFOAM and its forks
This Python library can be used to
- analyze the logs produced by OpenFoam-solvers
- execute OpenFoam-solvers and utilities and analyze their output simultaneously
- manipulate the parameter files and the initial-conditions of a run in a non-destructive manner
- plots the residuals of OpenFOAM solvers
- lots of other stuff
Most of this functionality is made available to the user in the form of command-line utilities.
PyFoam does all this strictly "from the outside": by writing parameter files and reading the output of the solvers. Without compiled parts or being linked to OpenFOAM.
More information is found on the OpenFOAM Wiki
