Hi everybody,

I want to know what is the role of autoPtr<..::..> and what should I place in <..::..> and how can I find out the arrangement of it?

here is a example (buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam solver):

    singlePhaseTransportModel laminarTransport(U, phi);
    
    autoPtr<incompressible::RASModel> turbulence
    (
        incompressible::RASModel::New(U, phi, laminarTransport)
    );

I find in OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.0/src/turbulenceModels/incompressible/turbulenceModel and at turbulenceModel.C the following:

autoPtr<turbulenceModel> turbulenceModel::New
(
    const volVectorField& U,
    const surfaceScalarField& phi,
    transportModel& transport,
    const word& turbulenceModelName
)

and

    return autoPtr<turbulenceModel>
    (
        cstrIter()(U, phi, transport, turbulenceModelName)
    );

but how can I understand what should I write in < >???????

I'm using viscoelasticFluidFoam and I'm trying to read some parameter from OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.0/src/transportModels/viscoelastic/viscoelasticLaws/Giesekus, the Giesekus.C file.

when I see the buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam solver, I thought that the key is the autoPtr but How???

please help me!
any hints or tips appreciated.

Thanks,
Mostafa
