Hi AB08,

They basically do what they say. You are creating an IOobject with the properties that:
IOobject::MUST_READ_IF_MODIFIED: if you change the file during the simulation, it is read again automatically
IOobject::NO_WRITE: the IOdictionary is never written automatically. Basically meaning that OpenFOAM will not overwrite your input file.

Cheers,

Lieven
