coding problem in Openfoam
 

Hi everyone, right now I am reading the code in openfoam. I usually read this definition like this: const scalar time = this->owner().solution().trackTime();
so what does the owner mean? I mean is it a class or a file name? And I never found the definition for "TrackData". Any help? Thanks.

owner is a member function for the current dynamically allocated object. What class are you exploring? If you want better understanding of the inheritance that happens in OF, use the doxygen documentation:

http://www.openfoam.org/docs/cpp/

You can search for the member owner and see what the function is all about. Looks like the return type has a member named solution which has a member named trackTime.

Thanks man!
