Gabriel S. Gerlero, Pablo A. Kler · The Journal of Open Source Software · 2025
foamlib is an open-source Python package that provides a high-level, modern, object-oriented programming interface for working with OpenFOAM cases and their files.It is designed to simplify the development of workflows that involve running OpenFOAM simulations, as well as pre-and post-processing steps.foamlib understands OpenFOAM's file formats and case structures, and provides an ergonomic, Pythonic API for manipulating cases and files, including a full parser and in-place editor for the latter.It also includes support for running OpenFOAM cases asynchronously and on Slurm-based HPC clusters.
