At openFOAM its possible to do a CheckMesh with multiple options and write an output cell array to open it in i. e. ParaView.
The Meshing Log is ok, but CheckMesh included more information.
I have recently been able to figure out a relatively easy way to install OpenFoam and use it on a PC. Ric and I have also deciphered a lot of OpenFoam issues when trying to use CheckMesh in OpenFoam.
If its on native windows 10, that would be great. So far my workaround is to import it into ubuntu as OpenFOAM on windows is quite frustrating when it comes to determining where the main directory should be.
For ‘technically minded’, there is a relatively new way of ‘installing’ OpenFoam’ in a Container: This is a short explanation from OpenFoam installation page.
## Docker
OpenCFD Ltd. uses Docker Hub to distribute pre-compiled versions of OpenFOAM for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows, including a complete development environment.
Docker containers enable binaries compiled on a given Linux environment to be run on other platforms without any performance degradation. Docker also operates on Windows and Mac OS X wrapped in a light-weight Virtual Box.
An image of OpenFOAM contains binaries and source code. The Docker environment provides:
* A complete development environment to compile local modifications and create executables. * A consistent behaviour of the OpenFOAM across all platforms

I’m software engineer and I did use VM in the past, but even with that experience Docker concept is new to me and not obvious at all (well, after two days). Of cours, you can decide, when starting Docker, how many core of CPU it should use which means you should left at least one core for Windows. Docker greatly simplifies GPU setting (at least for Deep Learning, etc…). I would need at least a couple of month to feel like a stranger in NY.
