Introduction
OpenFOAM is a free, open source CFD software package developed by OpenCFD Ltd at ESI Group and distributed by the OpenFOAM Foundation. To test ONELAB models working with OpenFOAM, a working installation of OpenFOAM on your system is needed. The easiest way to do so, is to install first the ONELAB virtual machine by following these instructions. When done, log in into the virtual machine (username: "olvm", passwd: olvm) and proceed with the Instructions of the next section.
Installation
The Virtual machine is configured so OpenFOAM can be installed straightforwardly. You have to be online. Proceed as follows.
