Introduction
blueCAPE Lda is responsible for blueCFD®-Core, blueCFD®-SingleCore and this version of cross-compiled OpenFOAM®.
blueCFD®-SingleCore is a subset of blueCFD®-Core, providing the same high quality cross-compiled build version of OpenFOAM® for Windows XP/Vista/7 (32 and 64bit) as in blueCFD®-Core, with some additional tweaks, executables and scripts, in order to maintain usability under a Windows environment. On the other hand, ParaView and MSys are not integrated automatically and MPI support is not provided.
The Issue Tracker for the blueCFD®-SingleCore project is now closed, along with the closure of the Google Code project and subsequent transfer.
Currently, not all applications available in blueCFD®-Core and blueCFD®-SingleCore have been tested. It is still a work in progress.
