Hi,

I’m looking at the possiblities to export CFD simulations from OpenFOAM software into Unreal Engine.
I understand as of UE 5.3 it now supports OpenVDB file format but I don’t think it’s possible to export / save to .VDB from OpenFOAM.

Does anyone have an experience or knowledge in doing this?

Thanks in advanced!

Try to use Paraview.

It can import OpenFOAM and Ansys contents. For VDB side, there is a volumetric rendering support and some talks about its forum.

On the other hand, you can export USDZ file and import it to UE.

Personally I prefer USDZ because current UE VDB implementation doesn’t support runtime import and this prevent product creation.
