CFD engineers and researchers
Selecting an open-source mesh generator for a CFD project
The OTT/OpenNode/WESTT Base Blocks mind map template provides a structured catalog of 130 open-source software components across five core domains: Geom, Mesh, PDE Solver, Post, and Dev Libs. It covers tools like OpenCascade, gmsh, OpenFOAM, and ParaView, with details on state, partners, and functionalities. This template serves as a reference for engineers and researchers evaluating open-source tools for CFD, CAD, and mesh generation workflows. Key nodes include 'BlockMesh (OpenFoam)' with its structured blockMesh generator and 'snappyHexMesh' for parallel hexa refined mesh. The template is organized as a five-branch hierarchy, making it easy to compare tools like TetGen (tetra mesh, no GUI) and Salome (GUI, shape healing).

Evaluating PDE solvers for multiphase flow simulation
Comparing CAD geometry libraries for integration into a custom toolchain
Open the template in Xmind to navigate the five core domains including Geom, Mesh, PDE Solver, Post, and Dev Libs.
Expand specific tool nodes like OpenFOAM or ParaView to evaluate their state, partners, and functional capabilities.
Add personal insights or markers to the branches and export your final software comparison as a PDF or image.
It is a reference catalog of open-source software components for computational geometry, meshing, PDE solving, post-processing, and development libraries, helping users select tools for CFD and CAD workflows.
It includes BlockMesh, gmsh, TetGen, Engrid, Salome, snappyHexMesh, gerris, and discretizer, each with details on GUI, CAD import formats, and mesh types (tetra, hexa, etc.).
Yes, many tools have a 'State' node indicating activity, such as 'Still in activity' for OpenCascade and Salome, or 'development seems to be stopped' for Overture and openFVM.
Yes, the 'PDE Solver' branch lists solvers like OpenFOAM, openFVM, CodeAster, and Elmer, with functionalities such as multiphase flow and adaptive mesh refinement.
Yes, you can open the .xmind file in Xmind and customize nodes, add notes, or reorganize branches to fit your specific evaluation criteria.
