[GPL65]

Hi,
I'm a new forum user and I hello everyone, sorry for my english.
I'm trying to modify a OF library (KinematicCloud.H) but I don't want overwrite the program files.
Is it possible to put the user file in another location and link to it?

KinematicCloud.H is part of a templated library. It's not straight forward to make changes to KinematicCloud.H without recompiling the whole shebang, i.e. liblagrangianIntermediate.

What are you trying to do?

[GPL65]

I have written a modify to this template class (I have added a function to this class), to do not overwrite the existing library I have copied it to my user source dir and I have compiled to my user lib dir, then I link solver to it (w/ Make/options files).

Is it a good job?

Thank you for patience.

I doubt that this will work just like that. Though I'm not quite sure.

So you are just interested in a KinematicCloud? No thermodynamics, collisions, ...

[GPL65]

It seems to work, I wrote a function that calculate the penetration of a scalarField along injector direction, because I will use this function more and more I have inserted in this class (in analogy with liquid penetration)

My doubt is on the "orthodoxy" of this method, there is a smarter solution?
