Overview
CFD Direct From the Cloud is a complete platform providing OpenFOAM (open source computational fluid dynamics) and supporting software running on a long-term support (LTS) version of Ubuntu Linux. Users connect to an instance using SSH or, optionally, a remote desktop. OpenFOAM (Open Field Operation and Manipulation) is a free, open source CFD software package which has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organizations. OpenFOAM has an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics and electromagnetics. It includes tools for meshing, notably snappyHexMesh, a parallelized mesher for complex CAD geometries, and for pre- and post-processing. Almost everything (including meshing, and pre- and post-processing) runs in parallel as standard, enabling users to take full advantage of computer hardware at their disposal.
Highlights
- Turnkey Installation of OpenFOAM
- Desktop Access from Linux, Mac OS X and Windows
- Enables Pay-as-you-go Scalable Parallel Computation

Just a great tool to get started with real cfd!

The collaboration of CFD direct with cloud computing was for me a nice opportunity to start with real cfd calculations.
Because at once, I got a very reliable hardware environment with preinstalled cfd software on a linux platform without initial costs.
With the written support in website of CFD direct, it was easy to set up the first instance and remote desktop.
During the projects, I could get more CFD results in a quicker way just by launching as many extra new instances as I want.
Also "spot pricing" is working good to my opinion.

CFD Direct From the Cloud is very easy to setup. It is a good alternative as a low cost computation and a substitute for a dedicated workstation. I used it quite extensively for a couple of months on all of the instance types offered.
Highly recommended service!
