BFlow models are created in the Visual Basic for Applications language that is part of
Microsoft Excel. This environment is normally hidden to the Excel user, so you may not
be aware of it. It provides a means of customizing Excel and automating repetitive tasks.
VBA is a complete programming language, providing tremendous flexibility to the user. If
you are not familiar with this language or the Visual Basic Editor, you should begin with
Tutorial 0.
Tutorial 1 walks you through creating a simple heated plate model. This model shows
how a geometry is created and meshed, how boundary conditions are set, and how the
solver is called.
Tutorial 2 adds a source term to the heated plate. In addition to showing how source
terms are implemented, this tutorial introduces the algebraic expression parser. In BFlow
boundary conditions, source terms, material properties, etc., can be specified as
numbers or as algebraic expressions. The latter give you a great deal of flexibility to
create customized models.
Tutorial 3 is the first flow tutorial. It shows how one sets up and solves for the pressure
and velocity in a flow problem.
