How useful the access to OpenFOAM GUI for daily foamers? Does anyone have any suggestion of the preferred GUI look?

Thanks,

hi friend
i heard about
1) foamX its a gui program for handling openFoam folders and files
2) some other pre processing programs like descritizer (which you can creat mesh in it)
3)and some post programing program such as paraview

[elvis]

=>1) foamX was java based and is obsolete
=>2) discretizer is some kind of gui take a look at screencasts http://www.discretizer.org/node/14 to get some sort of impression
not to forget engrid http://engits.eu
=> commercial tools like ICON FOAMpro have a nice gui http://www.iconcfd.com/de/services/foampro/aboutfoampro
http://www.dhcae.com/ castnet has gui support

as it was said by Elvis, you can use engrid.

There is a recent tutorial that could be useful to you http://files.engits.eu/documentation/BlenderEngridLong.pdf

There is a new GUI for OpenFOAM being developed here:

Here is an (old) demo of it in action, things have changed recently:
