OpenFOAM Preprocessors Creative Fields CF Mesh+ Creative Fields FAQ's	It is possible to use the default meshing programs SnappyHexMesh and Blockmesh in OpenFoam. I've found that these are very time consuming.	Gmsh an open source meshing developed by Christophe Geuzaine and Jean-François Remacle Gmsh
OpenFOAM PostProcessors https://www.paraview.org/download/ The latest OpenFOAM Foundation distribution also installs Paraview. ParaView Paraview is opensource and works well with openFOAM.	Initially I was confused as there was a ParaFOAM which appeared to be similar to ParaView. Paraview is opensource and was written by Sandia National Labs. The ParaFOAM is apparenty the same as ParaView but with a script file in it's run directory which causes it to more easily load OpenFOAM files but it is the same program.	Another reason for liking {or at least using} ParaView is there is an extensive and very helpful on-line support forum for the package. It is found here.

Dr. Jozsef Nagy's series of tutorials on learning OpenFOAM. These appear based on the ESI version of OpenFOAM but I hope to validate how they work with the Foundation vv using OF-7. Learning OpenFOAM
