| 00:01 | Hello and welcome to the spoken tutorial on installing and running PyFoam |
| 00:07 | In this tutorial, we will learn how to Install and check PyFoam and the required steps for the same. |
| 00:17 | What is PyFoam |
| 00:19 | Checking installation of OpenFOAM |
| 00:22 | Installing Python, Numpy and Gnuplot |
| 00:27 | Install PyFoam using pip |
| 00:30 | Install PyFoam using sources |
| 00:33 | And Check if PyFoam is working |
| 00:38 | To record this tutorial I am using
Ubuntu Linux Operating system 14.04 |
| 00:45 | OpenFOAM version 2.3.0 |
| 00:48 | Note that PyFoam will also work with OpenFoam v1.6 and above |
| 00:55 | To practice this tutorial, the user should have Basic knowledge of Linux terminal commands |
| 01:02 | Experience with running and analyzing OpenFOAM cases |
| 01:07 | If not, please go through the Linux tutorial series on this website |
| 01:13 | What is PyFoam? |
| 01:15 | PyFoam is a collection of Python libraries and utilities |
| 01:20 | It can be used to manipulate OpenFOAM simulations |
| 01:25 | It is Designed to make working with OpenFOAM easier |
| 01:29 | PyFoam can be also be used for iteratively running simulations |
| 01:34 | automate data collection |
| 01:37 | parametrically modify case files and many other such useful activities. |
| 01:44 | Note that PyFoam works over OpenFOAM |
| 01:48 | So, we need to always have an installation of OpenFOAM in our computer. |
| 01:54 | First we check if our installation of OpenFOAM has been done properly. |
| 02:00 | Open the terminal, and type icoFoam space hyphen help |
| 02:07 | You should get the details of icoFoam and OpenFOAM version and help text |
| 02:15 | Now we will install the necessary prerequisites for PyFoam, such as Python, Pip, Numpy and Gnuplot using the terminal. |
| 02:29 | First we will type - sudo apt-get install python hyphen dev and press Enter. |
| 02:39 | After this, type sudo apt-get install python-pip and press Enter. |
| 02:49 | Then, type pip install Numpy |
| 02:53 | Then, type sudo apt-get install gnuplot space gnuplot hyphen x11 and press Enter. |
| 03:04 | With this we are done with installing the pre-requisites. |
| 03:09 | Now we will install PyFoam using pip. |
| 03:13 | Open the terminal and type: pip install PyFoam |
| 03:20 | We can also install PyFoam from source |
| 03:24 | To do so, open the browser and in the URL window, type http://www.pypi.com
Search for PyFoam |
| 03:38 | Download PyFoam-0.6.5.tar.gz |
| 03:46 | In the terminal, go to Downloads folder. Type tar -xvf space PyFoam hyphen 0.6.5.tar.gz |
| 04:00 | Then Type cd followed by the name of the folder PyFoam hyphen 0.6.5 |
| 04:07 | After this, type sudo python setup dot py' space install |
| 04:16 | Now we have to check if PyFoam is detecting OpenFoam and working properly. |
| 04:22 | Switch to terminal again. |
| 04:25 | Type python . Type import PyFoam
import PyFoam dot FoamInformation |
| 04:35 | Then type print PyFoam dot FoamInformation dot foamTutorials followed by open-close brackets. |
| 04:45 | This should print the directory of the OpenFOAM Tutorials. |
| 04:50 | Now let us summarise. In this tutorial, we learnt about PyFoam. |
| 04:55 | We also learnt to check the installation of OpenFoam |
| 05:00 | Install PyFoam using pip |
| 05:03 | install PyFoam using sources and check if PyFoam is working |
| 05:09 | Please post your timed queries in this forum. |
| 05:13 | Please post your general queries on OpenFOAM in this forum. |
| 05:18 | The FOSSEE team coordinates the TBC project. |
| 05:22 | The Spoken Tutorial project is funded by NMEICT, MHRD, Govt. of India. For more details , visit this website. |
| 05:33 | The script is prepared by Anmol Sahoo and this is Rahul Joshi from IIT Bombay signing off. Thanks for watching |
