In embedded 3D printing, a nozzle is embedded into a support bath and extrudes filaments or droplets into the bath. Using OpenFOAM, we simulated the extrusion of filaments and droplets into a moving bath. OpenFOAM is an open source computational fluid dynamics solver. This repository contains the following Python tools: - Tools for generating input files for OpenFOAM v1912 or OpenFOAM v8 tailored to a nozzle extruding a filament into a static support bath. - Tools for monitoring the status of OpenFOAM simulations and aborting them if they are too slow. - Tools for moving output files between storage locations. (For example, it can automatically move all files to a server, but only necessary files to your hard drive) - Tools for generating images and tables from the 3D time series. - Tools for compiling images into videos. - Tools for analyzing, summarizing, and plotting data.
