Hi Robert01,
Yes, I loaded OpenFOAM years ago in an ubuntu environment, so a little bit of a learning experience, the new operating system & using OpenFOAM, but that was some 5 to 10 years ago and when I liked to dabble in coding. I also got into Paraview which was interesting and my icon image is from those times.
It’s possibly worth considering the raw OpenFOAM without the Simscale interface, but the simulation turnaround time and non-cloud computing means seriously upgrading my computer to a high end computer $$ or waiting overnight for simulations to complete, then finding an error and doing it all again
