I forgot to ask - are there any particular advantages of using Cfd module in place of CfdOF ? The latter seems much more user-friendly and has more functionalities.

Re: Can't converge a simple pipe elbow case
As of now, I don't believe there are any particular advantages.
The CfdOF module is built off the Cfd module, but they forked because of a difference in approach–CfdOF is focused on a smaller subset of functionality with high quality code and an easy user interface. Sometime after they forked, development on the Cfd module slowed (stopped?), so CfdOF currently has more functionality. I'm interested in having access to the full power of OpenFOAM without having to deal with its pain-in-the-rear interface, so I'm planning on some contributions that would not necessarily be desirable in CfdOF, but would fit right in to Cfd. I'm keeping CfdOF around on my computer because it's perfectly adequate for simple things and it's quite annoying to have to uninstall one and install the other every time I want to switch between them.
