OpenFOAM installation, server configuration and resources (version, flavour, paths, cores, ParaView).

Look up what OpenFOAM supports: valid boundary-condition types, models, function objects, solvers, app options.

Find OpenFOAM tutorial cases to start from (and working examples of any keyword or feature).

Create a case by cloning a tutorial or copying an existing case (results are left behind unless include_results).

List cases in the workspace with solver, mesh/result state and running jobs.

One-call overview of a case: solver, run control, mesh & patches, initial/boundary conditions, physics, numerics, results.

Remove results: time directories after the first, postProcessing, logs, processor dirs and optionally the mesh.

Permanently delete a case directory from the workspace.

List files in a case (sizes in bytes; long runs of time directories are collapsed).

Read a text file from a case (dictionaries, logs, scripts). Large value lists are elided by default.

Create or overwrite a file in a case (new dictionaries, STL-free text inputs, scripts). Prefer set_dict for edits.

Copy geometry (STL/OBJ), meshes or other files into a case, e.g. the surface for snappyHexMesh.

Read a dictionary or one entry through OpenFOAM's foamDictionary (authoritative parsing).

Edit dictionary entries safely via foamDictionary (set/add/remove), then read back the new values.

Run an OpenFOAM application or case script as a background job; waits briefly and reports the outcome or progress.

Status of a job (progress, residuals, errors, log tail) or a list of running and recent jobs.

Stop a running job, gracefully (results written) or forcibly.

Read the tail of a log, or grep it (e.g. 'FOAM Warning|bounding|Courant').

Convergence report from a solver log: state (converged/diverging/failed...), residuals and trends, Courant, continuity, ETA.

Run checkMesh and return structured mesh statistics, failed checks and practical advice.

Run a post-processing function object on saved results (writes fields and/or postProcessing/ data).

List function-object output files under postProcessing/ with their column names.

Read a postProcessing table (forces, coefficients, probes, sampled lines...) with statistics and optional plot.

Min/max/mean of a field (internal and per patch) at a time, read directly from ASCII field files.

Render a picture of the flow or mesh with ParaView (headless) and return it as an image plus metadata.
