I won't be able to attend the Workshop and I think there are many people in the same situation. Would it be possible for the organizers to make some web cams available so that we could follow the workshop online?

Dear Paulo Vatavuk,

thanks for your feedback! Unfortunately, we will not be able (and probably not allowed by law) to set up webcams for the workshop. However, as for the previous workshops, all material (including training USB stick, slides and handouts as well as posters and presentations of the technical sessions) will be online and provided via www.openfoamworkshop.org.

best regards,
Holger

Update VII
Live CAE Linux based distribution

Dear FOAMers,

for the 7th OpenFOAM® Workshop to be held in Darmstadt, Germany on June 25-28, 2012, we have prepared a Live CAE Linux based distribution with various CAE Software and of course, different OpenFOAM versions.

We would like to thank Joel Cugnoni from the CAE Linux project for his work and support in creating the distribution.

Constructive comments that came from from the trainers, especially Bernhard Gschaider and Hakan Nilsson were also very helpful and are appreciated.

Download

The .iso file: http://merida.csi.tu-darmstadt.de/op...nux-Public.iso

The md5sum: http://merida.csi.tu-darmstadt.de/op...nux-Public.md5

Burning of the .iso on a USB disk with data persistence

We are using the usb-creator-gtk application to burn the disk because it supports the creation of a persistency file, allowing the user to store information on the disk permanently.

Instructions are available here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/In...n/FromUSBStick

Note: if the disk is burned without the persistence option, the networking is not available (reasonable, since there is no chance of storing e.g. the dhcp and log info to the / filesystem). Please use a 8GB USB disk if you intend to have persistent data, we are currently in the process of further reducing the size of the .iso so that it can be burned on the 4GB usb disks as well.

Virtualbox

The live distribution can also be easily tested in a virtual machine. For this purpose, we are using the official (non-ose) version of the Virtualbox application:

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

because it supports guest additions that allow easy connection of USB devices, etc.

Booting process

In order to boot from the USB disk, the boot order needs to be changed on your machine, so that the USB hard disk is placed first in the list. You can do this in the BIOS, or in the machine's Startup Menu.

Once the distribution starts booting, you will see a black screen showing the following:

Code:

boot:

To continue the booting process just hit the return key (Enter).

Workflow

The terminals that bring up consoles for different versions of OpenFOAM compiled with different WM_COMPILE_OPTIONS (Opt, Debug) are linked on the desktop.

If you open a new tab you have an empty environment, which you can define for a desired version by calling:

OF16ext : for the OpenFOAM 1.6-ext library (Opt)
OF16extDebug : for the OpenFOAM 1.6-ext library (Debug)
OF21 : for the OpenFOAM 2.1.0 library (Opt)
OF20x: for the OpenFOAM 2.0.x library (Opt)

OF16extProf : this script initializes the environment for the OpenFOAM-1.6-ext library with the Prof option, but the installation is not available to restrict the size of the final .iso file. However, if you want to use this version, feel free to compile it. Provided you have enough space on the USB (more than 4GB), the changes will be saved and you can use the source scripts to work with this compilation option as well.

Installed Software

The installation provides the following software:

OpenFOAM-1.6-ext
OpenFOAM-2.1.0
OpenFOAM-2.0.x

Paraview-3.10.0 (OpenFOAM-1.6-ext)
Paraview-3.12.0 (OpenFOAM-2.1.0, OpenFOAM-2.0.x)

engrid
gmsh
discretizer
...

You can also view the list of the available applications and libraries that are installed using the package system by executing the command:

Code:

dpkg --get-selections

How you can help us

To increase the chances of success for the Training sessions of the 7th OpenFOAM® Workshop we would benefit greatly if you could report problems that you find in the workflow with the distribution.

Problems with the environment settings, connecting to a wireless network, drivers, etc could be avoided in advance if we had some input on how the distribution is behaving on various notebooks.

So, if it runs, let us know, if it fails, tell us what failed, and for this purpose, please open a new thread in another section of the forum, since this one is reserved for Announcements.

And it repeats this message.

By the way, I created the USB from Ubuntu 11.10. Googling suggests that is may have to do with this, but I absolutely have no clue for now. Any suggestions?

Hi Bernhard,

if I understood it right, Elvis has seen the same thing, he asked about it here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post363231

Dear FOAMers,

with this intermediate notification, please allow me to inform you on the basic program of the Community Day at the 7th OpenFOAM Workshop.

At the Community Day we are going to have

Special Interest Group Meetings
These are scheduled meetings of OpenFOAM® community groups with an interest in advancing a specific area of knowledge of technology in OpenFOAM®.
Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) Meetings:
BoFs are informal and often formed in an ad-hoc manner, where the attendees group together based on a shared interest and carry out discussions without any pre-planned agenda.
Clinics Sessions
The attendees are asked to bring their day-to-day problems on the laptops. The clinic aims to provide valuable insights on how
to tackle your problems in OpenFOAM®.
Show-Room Session and Feature Talks
In this session the principal sponsors of the 7th OpenFOAM® Workshop will present their software products and services for or interfacing to OpenFOAM® - with a workshop character meaning as hands-on lectures or along with an open discussion forum at the session's end.
Recruitment Session
The workshop organizers have been asked to organize a recruitment session, in which open positions and jobs for freelancers and consultancies are presented. After these sessions interested parties can join for a chat and follow-up.

If any of the above points is interesting to you (or something is missing), please tell us. Here is the place for your voice:

Upload for Slides (Technical Sessions) - Info on Banquet Dinner - Community Day - Book of Abstracts

Dear FOAMers,

Upload Form for Slides (Technical Sessions)
In order to assist the organization of the Technical Sessions at the 7th OpenFOAM® Workshop, the Local OpenFOAM Workshop Organizing Committee asks all contributors to upload the presentation slides (oral presentations) using the Extend Community Portal:

http://www.extend-project.de/ofw7-registration (login before!)

Deadline for contribution uploads is Friday, June 22. We can not consider any uploads beyond this date. If not possible to upload until June 22, please prepare accordingly (that is provide your presentation on your USB stick or use your laptop for the presentation!). In any case, please bring an additional USB-Stick as a back-up.

Info on Banquet Dinner
As already stated in the program schedule, this year's OpenFOAM® Workshop Banquet Dinner is taking place at a historical site: an old German Castle called "Schloss Auerbach".
This event in particular is intended to strengthen community networking. Therefore, the Local OpenFOAM® Workshop Organizing Committee has planned a entertaining social program. We are going to leave by bus at the time provided in the printed program in your workshop wrapper. Please be sure to be in time in order to join us at Schloss Auerbach. More information will be given at the Workshop.

Community Day (June 28)
The program items for the Community Day roughly read:

Special Interest Group Meetings
These are scheduled meetings of OpenFOAM® community groups with an interest in advancing a specific area of knowledge of technology inOpenFOAM®.
Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) Meetings:
BoFs are informal and often formed in an ad-hoc manner, where the attendees group together based on a shared interest and carry out discussions without any pre-planned agenda.
Clinics Sessions
The attendees are asked to bring their day-to-day problems on the laptops. The clinic aims to provide valuable insights on how
to tackle your problems in OpenFOAM®.
Show-Room Session and Feature Talks
In this session the principal sponsors of the 7th OpenFOAM® Workshop will present their software products and services for or interfacing toOpenFOAM® - with a workshop character meaning as hands-on lectures or along with an open discussion forum at the session's end.
Recruitment Session
The workshop organizers have been asked to organize a recruitment session, in which open positions and jobs for freelancers and consultancies are presented. After these sessions interested parties can join for a chat and follow-up.

The Preliminary Program for the Community Day (Special Interest Group Meetings, BoF Meeting, Clinics and Presentations of Sponsors) is online. All time slots and sessions are prepared. Please visit for more information:

Final Preparations and Travel Instructions

Dear OFW7 attendees,

it is less than one week to the 7th OpenFOAM® Workshop being held June 25-28 in Darmstadt, Germany. Registration starts right in the morning of June 25 at 7.45 a.m. (Darmstadium Congress Centre). With this notification we want to provide you with some final information in order to assist you in preparations and planning.

We are looking forward to hosting you at the 7th OpenFOAM® Workshop in Darmstadt!

best regards,
Holger Marschall, Kathrin Kissling, Tomislav Maric and Kerstin Schmitt,

Local OpenFOAM® Workshop Organizing Committee

Travel - How do I get from Frankurt Airport to the OFW7 venue?

The best way (I tested it last week) to get from Frankfurt Airport to Darmstadt is by using a bus shuttle service called 'Airliner'. The bus shuttle will take you to Darmstadt's main train station ('Hauptbahnhof') in less than 30 minutes. The ticket is 7,60 EUR -- valid for zone 40 ('Tarif-Gebiet 40'), including Darmstadt City! Here are some more detailed information than on the official websites:

from TERMINAL 1:
Watch out for bus stop 14 -- between exit 5 and 6 across(!) the street. Exits 5 and 6 are directly located near the stairs/elevator to AiRail and long- distance trains (IC and ICE) of Deutsche Bahn (DB). Don't go there unless you want to travel to Frankfurt City, having sight-seeing there and travel from Frankfurt's main station to Darmstadt via train afterwards (which might be an option, if you think about it). Frequent S-Bahn and regional trains to Frankfurt Hbf, taking 11-12 minutes, are leaving from there.
from TERMINAL 2:
Watch out for the bus stop sign 'AIR', which is located in front of exit 8 of the terminal building.

Please find additional information and downloads (pdf files) under http://www.extend-project.de/ofw7-venue

Presentations - How do I get me started for my presentation at OFW7?

You do have two different options. However, keep in mind that we have a very comprehensive program and we will need to stay in time rigidly. Hence, we recommend option #1 (upload of presentation slides).

#1 Upload of Presentation Slides
We recommend to upload the presentation slides along with all movies and animations using our UPLOAD FORM after login:

http://www.extend-project.de/ofw7-uploads

The uploads will be placed in a folder holding your name (beginning with your surname) - which btw. was a reason to have you all registered at the website.

#2 Presentations from your Laptop
You have the additional option to bring your own laptop for presentation. In this case, please remember that you might need to provide us with an adapter (if necessary; MAC users!) and test the system in the break (or evening) before your session. At the workshop there will be session chairs and technicians around, to directly ask. Please get in contact with them before. The names of chairs are provided within the program in the workshop wrapper. Switches and laser pointers will be available.

Additional Advise
Please complete your presentation with a few minutes to spare for discussion. Please contact your session chair and technician before your session. We need to be very brief with introductions, so please provide to your session chair the following basic information:

Final title of your contribution,
Full names and affiliations of authors and
Name of presenting person.

Preparation - What to bring with me to OFW7 / What is provided at OFW7?

Bring your laptop!
Please don't forget to bring your laptop! Note that you can only follow the training effectively with 'hands-on', which means in front of your laptop. Anyway, it might be simply useful to have your laptop around when discussing and exchanging with others on your field of interest. Keep in mind, that adapters for power plugs might be necessary. Visit http://www.extend-project.de/ofw7-tourist-info for more information.

USB Live Distro (Training Day)
Following the success of previous OpenFOAM® Workshop, we have prepared a USB stick for you. The OFW7 distro is based on CAE linux (http://www.caelinux.com/CMS/ -- thanks to Joel Cugnoni) with different versions of OpenFOAM® and most training material already provided. To participate and enjoy the training sessions you should follow the advise under 'Information for Participants' -- please visit http://www.extend-project.de/ofw7-training.

In particular, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO DOWNLOAD AND TEST THE ISO WITH YOUR LAPTOP using a USB stick, virtual machine or DVD -- BEFORE THE WORKSHOP(!) in order to make sure that it works. The download is provided under http://www.extend-project.de/ofw7-training. In any case check how to enter BIOS and change boot order for your laptop!

SIG/BoF Meetings & Clinics (Community Day)
All OFW7 attendees are asked to think about and prepare their day-to-day test cases with OpenFOAM®, which they feel are interesting and/or subject to problems. At the workshop we will have BoF ad-hoc meetings on specific topics (BoF=Birds-of-a-Feather) and clinics, where these test cases and related issues are going to be addressed.

Moreover, if you have been successfully working on issues related to a topic covered by one of the community's Special Interest Groups (SIGs), we would be glad if you could provide an ad-hoc talk! Please contact the leading persons of the SIG in that case.

Internet Access
WIFI will be available. Information on WIFI access will be provided at the Workshop venue.

Documents - How do I get my Payment Receipt (or Invoice)
We have send out all payment receipts (= invoices with confirmed payment) where we have confirmed payment transactions. If you have not yet received a payment receipt by the OFW7 administration, this DOES NOT necesserily mean that your payment transaction failed. It is the valuta (depending on credit card issuers), the administrative accounting and other factors which might have caused different confirmation times for payment transactions.

IN ANY CASE, BRING YOUR RECORD OF PAYMENT WITH YOU. YOU SHOULD NOT LEAVE THE WORKSHOP WITHOUT PAYMENT RECEIPT!

Additionally, for those with failed payment transactions (credit card payers), there will be the possibility to pay cash at the workshop registration desk. Please note that the amount must be paid in exact change, for which a receipt will be issued. We accept EUROs only. We will not be able to exchange.

Please also refer to our 'Payment Policies' and the section 'Cancellation' under http://www.extend-project.de/ofw7-registration for further details.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the 7th OpenFOAM® Workshop!!

tomislav_maric Senior Member Tomislav Maric Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Darmstadt, Germany Posts: 284 Blog Entries: 5 Rep Power: 21	Update VII Live CAE Linux based distribution Dear FOAMers, for the 7th OpenFOAM® Workshop to be held in Darmstadt, Germany on June 25-28, 2012, we have prepared a Live CAE Linux based distribution with various CAE Software and of course, different OpenFOAM versions. We would like to thank Joel Cugnoni from the CAE Linux project for his work and support in creating the distribution. Constructive comments that came from from the trainers, especially Bernhard Gschaider and Hakan Nilsson were also very helpful and are appreciated. Download The .iso file: http://merida.csi.tu-darmstadt.de/op...nux-Public.iso The md5sum: http://merida.csi.tu-darmstadt.de/op...nux-Public.md5 Burning of the .iso on a USB disk with data persistence We are using the usb-creator-gtk application to burn the disk because it supports the creation of a persistency file, allowing the user to store information on the disk permanently. Instructions are available here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/In...n/FromUSBStick Note: if the disk is burned without the persistence option, the networking is not available (reasonable, since there is no chance of storing e.g. the dhcp and log info to the / filesystem). Please use a 8GB USB disk if you intend to have persistent data, we are currently in the process of further reducing the size of the .iso so that it can be burned on the 4GB usb disks as well. Virtualbox The live distribution can also be easily tested in a virtual machine. For this purpose, we are using the official (non-ose) version of the Virtualbox application: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads because it supports guest additions that allow easy connection of USB devices, etc. Booting process In order to boot from the USB disk, the boot order needs to be changed on your machine, so that the USB hard disk is placed first in the list. You can do this in the BIOS, or in the machine's Startup Menu. Once the distribution starts booting, you will see a black screen showing the following: Code: boot: To continue the booting process just hit the return key (Enter). Workflow The terminals that bring up consoles for different versions of OpenFOAM compiled with different WM_COMPILE_OPTIONS (Opt, Debug) are linked on the desktop. If you open a new tab you have an empty environment, which you can define for a desired version by calling: OF16ext : for the OpenFOAM 1.6-ext library (Opt) OF16extDebug : for the OpenFOAM 1.6-ext library (Debug) OF21 : for the OpenFOAM 2.1.0 library (Opt) OF20x: for the OpenFOAM 2.0.x library (Opt) OF16extProf : this script initializes the environment for the OpenFOAM-1.6-ext library with the Prof option, but the installation is not available to restrict the size of the final .iso file. However, if you want to use this version, feel free to compile it. Provided you have enough space on the USB (more than 4GB), the changes will be saved and you can use the source scripts to work with this compilation option as well. Installed Software The installation provides the following software: OpenFOAM-1.6-ext OpenFOAM-2.1.0 OpenFOAM-2.0.x Paraview-3.10.0 (OpenFOAM-1.6-ext) Paraview-3.12.0 (OpenFOAM-2.1.0, OpenFOAM-2.0.x) engrid gmsh discretizer ... You can also view the list of the available applications and libraries that are installed using the package system by executing the command: Code: dpkg --get-selections How you can help us To increase the chances of success for the Training sessions of the 7th OpenFOAM® Workshop we would benefit greatly if you could report problems that you find in the workflow with the distribution. Problems with the environment settings, connecting to a wireless network, drivers, etc could be avoided in advance if we had some input on how the distribution is behaving on various notebooks. So, if it runs, let us know, if it fails, tell us what failed, and for this purpose, please open a new thread in another section of the forum, since this one is reserved for Announcements.

At the Community Day we are going to have Special Interest Group Meetings These are scheduled meetings of OpenFOAM® community groups with an interest in advancing a specific area of knowledge of technology in OpenFOAM®. Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) Meetings: BoFs are informal and often formed in an ad-hoc manner, where the attendees group together based on a shared interest and carry out discussions without any pre-planned agenda. Clinics Sessions The attendees are asked to bring their day-to-day problems on the laptops. The clinic aims to provide valuable insights on how to tackle your problems in OpenFOAM®. Show-Room Session and Feature Talks In this session the principal sponsors of the 7th OpenFOAM® Workshop will present their software products and services for or interfacing to OpenFOAM® - with a workshop character meaning as hands-on lectures or along with an open discussion forum at the session's end. Recruitment Session The workshop organizers have been asked to organize a recruitment session, in which open positions and jobs for freelancers and consultancies are presented. After these sessions interested parties can join for a chat and follow-up. If any of the above points is interesting to you (or something is missing), please tell us.

holger_marschall Senior Member Holger Marschall Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Darmstadt, Germany Posts: 126 Rep Power: 19	Update XII Final Preparations and Travel Instructions Dear OFW7 attendees, it is less than one week to the 7th OpenFOAM® Workshop being held June 25-28 in Darmstadt, Germany. Registration starts right in the morning of June 25 at 7.45 a.m. (Darmstadium Congress Centre). With this notification we want to provide you with some final information in order to assist you in preparations and planning. We are looking forward to hosting you at the 7th OpenFOAM® Workshop in Darmstadt! --- best regards, Holger Marschall, Kathrin Kissling, Tomislav Maric and Kerstin Schmitt, on behalf of International OpenFOAM® Workshop Committee Local OpenFOAM® Workshop Organizing Committee Travel - How do I get from Frankurt Airport to the OFW7 venue? The best way (I tested it last week) to get from Frankfurt Airport to Darmstadt is by using a bus shuttle service called 'Airliner'. The bus shuttle will take you to Darmstadt's main train station ('Hauptbahnhof') in less than 30 minutes. The ticket is 7,60 EUR -- valid for zone 40 ('Tarif-Gebiet 40'), including Darmstadt City! Here are some more detailed information than on the official websites: from TERMINAL 1: Watch out for bus stop 14 -- between exit 5 and 6 across(!) the street. Exits 5 and 6 are directly located near the stairs/elevator to AiRail and long- distance trains (IC and ICE) of Deutsche Bahn (DB). Don't go there unless you want to travel to Frankfurt City, having sight-seeing there and travel from Frankfurt's main station to Darmstadt via train afterwards (which might be an option, if you think about it). Frequent S-Bahn and regional trains to Frankfurt Hbf, taking 11-12 minutes, are leaving from there. from TERMINAL 2: Watch out for the bus stop sign 'AIR', which is located in front of exit 8 of the terminal building. Please find additional information and downloads (pdf files) under http://www.extend-project.de/ofw7-venue Presentations - How do I get me started for my presentation at OFW7? You do have two different options. However, keep in mind that we have a very comprehensive program and we will need to stay in time rigidly. Hence, we recommend option #1 (upload of presentation slides). #1 Upload of Presentation Slides We recommend to upload the presentation slides along with all movies and animations using our UPLOAD FORM after login: http://www.extend-project.de/ofw7-uploads The uploads will be placed in a folder holding your name (beginning with your surname) - which btw. was a reason to have you all registered at the website. #2 Presentations from your Laptop You have the additional option to bring your own laptop for presentation. In this case, please remember that you might need to provide us with an adapter (if necessary; MAC users!) and test the system in the break (or evening) before your session. At the workshop there will be session chairs and technicians around, to directly ask. Please get in contact with them before. The names of chairs are provided within the program in the workshop wrapper. Switches and laser pointers will be available. Additional Advise Please complete your presentation with a few minutes to spare for discussion. Please contact your session chair and technician before your session. We need to be very brief with introductions, so please provide to your session chair the following basic information: Final title of your contribution, Full names and affiliations of authors and Name of presenting person. Preparation - What to bring with me to OFW7 / What is provided at OFW7? Bring your laptop! Please don't forget to bring your laptop! Note that you can only follow the training effectively with 'hands-on', which means in front of your laptop. Anyway, it might be simply useful to have your laptop around when discussing and exchanging with others on your field of interest. Keep in mind, that adapters for power plugs might be necessary. Visit http://www.extend-project.de/ofw7-tourist-info for more information. USB Live Distro (Training Day) Following the success of previous OpenFOAM® Workshop, we have prepared a USB stick for you. The OFW7 distro is based on CAE linux (http://www.caelinux.com/CMS/ -- thanks to Joel Cugnoni) with different versions of OpenFOAM® and most training material already provided. To participate and enjoy the training sessions you should follow the advise under 'Information for Participants' -- please visit http://www.extend-project.de/ofw7-training. In particular, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO DOWNLOAD AND TEST THE ISO WITH YOUR LAPTOP using a USB stick, virtual machine or DVD -- BEFORE THE WORKSHOP(!) in order to make sure that it works. The download is provided under http://www.extend-project.de/ofw7-training. In any case check how to enter BIOS and change boot order for your laptop! SIG/BoF Meetings & Clinics (Community Day) All OFW7 attendees are asked to think about and prepare their day-to-day test cases with OpenFOAM®, which they feel are interesting and/or subject to problems. At the workshop we will have BoF ad-hoc meetings on specific topics (BoF=Birds-of-a-Feather) and clinics, where these test cases and related issues are going to be addressed. Moreover, if you have been successfully working on issues related to a topic covered by one of the community's Special Interest Groups (SIGs), we would be glad if you could provide an ad-hoc talk! Please contact the leading persons of the SIG in that case. Internet Access WIFI will be available. Information on WIFI access will be provided at the Workshop venue. Documents - How do I get my Payment Receipt (or Invoice) We have send out all payment receipts (= invoices with confirmed payment) where we have confirmed payment transactions. If you have not yet received a payment receipt by the OFW7 administration, this DOES NOT necesserily mean that your payment transaction failed. It is the valuta (depending on credit card issuers), the administrative accounting and other factors which might have caused different confirmation times for payment transactions. IN ANY CASE, BRING YOUR RECORD OF PAYMENT WITH YOU. YOU SHOULD NOT LEAVE THE WORKSHOP WITHOUT PAYMENT RECEIPT! Additionally, for those with failed payment transactions (credit card payers), there will be the possibility to pay cash at the workshop registration desk. Please note that the amount must be paid in exact change, for which a receipt will be issued. We accept EUROs only. We will not be able to exchange. Please also refer to our 'Payment Policies' and the section 'Cancellation' under http://www.extend-project.de/ofw7-registration for further details. We are looking forward to seeing you at the 7th OpenFOAM® Workshop!! Spread the word! Please forward this message to anyone you think might be interested in attending the OpenFOAM® Workshop.
