[Paraview] Just Learning Paraview

[iva.atcsupervisor at gmail.com]

That's what I was beginning to suspect. I have looked into OpenFoam but have
had trouble because I am on a Vista 32 machine and know very little about
linux, I tried Cygwin as well as andLinux but I do not know linux command
structure well enough to be effective at any level.

I am surprised at how many open source CFD's programs like Open Foam are
linux based but on some level it is not surprising considering how much
hassle windows is....maybe its time to partition and install linux?

Thank you very much for the help.
