Hi,

You may go through the user guide first. Its the best place to start.

Also its advisable to install OF on a linux distribution for maximum convenience of use.

And finally get the latest version of OF i.e 1.7.1 There have been numerous developments in the code since OF-1.5

Thank u for your kind reply i'll try it in linux.....................

the stuff from Open Source CFD International Conferences might show areas where OF has been used
