Browser-local OpenFOAM dictionary generators, setup helpers, residual-log checks, and case-folder readiness tools.
Use ScholarTool OpenFOAM helpers to generate starter dictionaries, review finite-volume setup choices, estimate Courant-limited time steps, plan wall treatment, parse residual logs, and check pasted case-folder listings without executing OpenFOAM or uploading case files.

Review pasted case-path text for required folders and dictionary files without reading the user's filesystem.
No. They generate text, parse pasted logs, and check visible setup patterns in the browser. They do not execute OpenFOAM, Docker, WebAssembly solvers, shell commands, or remote solver APIs.
No. OpenFOAM dictionary text, residual logs, and case notes are processed locally in the browser state for the active page session.
Treat them as starter text. Verify syntax, dimensions, patch names, solver compatibility, and physical assumptions against the documentation for your installed OpenFOAM version before running a case.
The first OpenFOAM release covers controlDict, fvSchemes, fvSolution, simple blockMeshDict geometry, common boundary-condition suggestions, turbulence-model selection, Courant time-step estimates, y-plus wall-treatment planning, residual-log parsing, and case-folder checklist review.
A typical case coordinates initial fields in 0, physical and mesh data in constant, and discretization, solver, and run-control dictionaries in system.
Review accuracy, order, boundedness, numerical diffusion, mesh quality, equation type, stability, and validation rather than selecting one scheme for every field.
It configures equation solvers, preconditioners, tolerances, relaxation, and pressure-velocity coupling behavior for the selected application.
No. It supports structured block definitions; complex topology, boundary layers, local refinement, and mesh-quality goals may require additional meshing workflows.
Confirm patch names and types, field dimensions, flow direction, thermal and turbulence quantities, reference values, solver compatibility, and expected backflow behavior.
It compares distance traveled in one time step with cell size and supports solver-specific stability and temporal-resolution planning.
OpenFOAM Helpers produce reviewable dictionary drafts, setup checklists, and residual-log summaries from browser-local text. They do not execute OpenFOAM or shell commands.
Specify solver family, dimensions, boundary intent, and case structure; generate or inspect text; compare it with the installed OpenFOAM version and official examples; then validate through mesh, conservation, and sensitivity studies.
Dictionary syntax, available models, dimensions, function objects, and solver behavior vary by distribution and version. Residual reduction alone does not establish conservation or physical accuracy.
