Hi

I am a beginner of OpenFOAM. I use OpenFOAM to generate waves and study coastal engineering.

Recently, I find IHFOAM that can generate several kinds of waves.

But I have some problems about the installation of IHFOAM.

May someone can tell me what the following statement means?

***********
libs
(
"libIHwaveGeneration.so"
"libIHwaveAbsorption.so"
);
**************

where I can find the folder and what I should do?

Greetings glazejimmy and welcome to posting on the forum!

The "libs" block is explained in the user guide: http://www.openfoam.org/docs/user/controlDict.php

List of additional libraries (on $LD_LIBRARY_PATH) to be loaded at run-time, e.g.( "libUser1.so" "libUser2.so" )

Those libraries you're asking about, if and when they have been built with success, they should be located in the folder indicated by the following command:

echo $FOAM_USER_LIBBIN

For more details, please see the User Guide as well: http://www.openfoam.org/docs/user/co...plications.php

As for installing IHFOAM, the instructions on the wiki are fairly easy to follow: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Co...nd_Compilation

Best regards,
Bruno
