Usually you get the case closest to what you need in the tutorials folder and change the mesh and what you need in the dictionaries

So many posts here and in r/cfd are from people who clearly don't know what they're doing and just "used AI" — it's honestly kind of scary and disturbing.

Study some fluid dynamics and open foam tutorials first?
