Introduction

blueCAPE Lda is responsible for blueCFD, blueCFD-SingleCore and this version of cross-compiled OpenFOAM®.

blueCFD-SingleCore is a subset of blueCFD, providing the same high quality cross-compiled build version of OpenFOAM® for Windows XP/Vista/7 (32 and 64bit) as in blueCFD, with some additional tweaks, executables and scripts, in order to maintain usability under a Windows environment. ParaView is also integrated automatically. MSys and MPI support are not provided. An Issue Tracker is provided for the blueCFD-SingleCore project, providing only support for bugs found with the software installed with the blueCFD-SingleCore installers and the code provided in the project repositories.

Currently, not all applications available in blueCFD and blueCFD-SingleCore have been tested. It is still a work in progress.
