How dependable is this support desk?
The expertise is already in place. Actiflow has been working with OpenFOAM for many years and VORtech has done serious development work with OpenFOAM. Moreover, VORtech is used to running support desks for other software packages. If we find that we cannot handle the question effectively, we will forward it to OpenCFD®, the company behind OpenFOAM. So, reliable services related to consultancy, development and modeling support are available right now.

Can I ask you absolutely anything?
Well, yes: you can always ask. Our employees are experienced in OpenFOAM so they should be able to answer most questions and repair most bugs. But we have to admit: some problems are just so complex that they cannot be solved in the framework of the support desk. In that case, we will be happy to supply you with a quotation for having your problem solved by one of our experts.

Shouldn’t I better hire the guys from OpenCFD®?
As stated before, OpenCFD® offers support contracts as well. Our service desk for OpenFOAM forwards the really tough questions to OpenCFD®. The advantage of the Dutch OpenFOAM Support Desk is that you can address us in your own language and we can come by your office to help you out.

How long am I stuck with you if I accept a support contract?
Support contracts are offered per year. Obviously, we hope that you will stay with us for a long time. But we understand that we will have to earn a lasting relationship by delivering good work.
