Apps Engineering

A list of F/OSS Apps that we can use with Debian to create Awsome Projects.

OpenFOAM

OpenFOAM is an open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, offering flexibility and customization but requiring advanced technical expertise for effective use.

sudo add-apt-repository http://dl.openfoam.org/ubuntu
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openfoam8

#source /opt/openfoam8/etc/bashrc
#foamInstallationTest

ANSYS, which you might know, on the other hand, is a commercial CFD software known for its user-friendly interface and comprehensive support, but it comes with licensing costs.
