What it can do

An openfoam server (17 tools) for meshing, solving, dictionary edits and a live REPORT.md that records each decision.
A validation server that compares profiles with reference data such as Ghia 1982, Armaly 1983 and XFOIL polars, and classifies convergence.
A consultant server for mesh-quality verdicts and annotated tutorial lookup, and a research assistant server for wmake builds of custom code.
Ships scenarios from a lid-driven cavity to a 3D ONERA M6 wing, plus a Claude Code hook that pauses runs at each scenario's automation level.

Limitations

Built as workshop material (AIAA Aviation 2026, FSU); setup targets Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 or WSL2 and uses sudo for system packages.
The setup script also installs ParaView, several agent CLIs and an Ollama local model, which is more than a minimal server install.

Install

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/kalagotla/agentic-openfoam-fsu.git agentic-openfoam
cd agentic-openfoam
./setup.sh            # ~10–20 min, mostly downloads; safe to re-run
source ~/.bashrc      # load the new PATH (or open a new terminal)
