I'm a new OpenFOAM user, so please excuse me if this question is stupid, buy why is FoamX obsolete in version 1.5 op OF? Is there any other pre-processor available, and how is parallelisation handled in 1.5 (i thought FoamX gave a good inteface for this)? Regards |

Besides which, using FoamX to edit dictionaries is comparable to performing keyhole surgery. By dropping FoamX (and avoiding the additional work of creating a java-compatible interface for each feature), the developers could introduce very interesting and useful dictionary functionality fairly quickly:
