Services : Office hours

Stuck on an OpenFOAM simulation? Looking to discuss tailored support for your company or academic research?

Book a free 30-minute 1-on-1 session to discuss your technical challenges and outline the best roadmap for your project.

Why book an Office Hours session?

Office Hours are designed as a no-obligation introductory call to:

  • Get a quick diagnostic: Discuss recurring issues (divergence, complex meshing, solver selection, turbulence modeling).
  • Scope a B2B project: Determine the right hours package or support contract for your engineering team.
  • Assess a B2C project: Evaluate the technical feasibility of your PhD, thesis, or academic project before committing.

Note: Office Hours are dedicated to scoping and preliminary diagnostics. If you need immediate, hands-on troubleshooting directly on your case files, please refer to our B2B Services or B2C Coaching.

  1. Introduction (5 min): Quick overview of your context (industrial or academic).
  2. Problem Overview (10 min): Review of your technical bottlenecks or CFD objectives.
