How to add and select solver in Helyx

han0459 · August 24, 2016, 07:05

Dear Foamers:

I am now using Helyx to conduct OpenFoam tutorials. I wonder how to add or modify the solver in the Helyx. Because even the application in controlDict is modified, it will not reflect in the GUI of Helyx.

Moreover, after I performed one tutorial through Helyx, I checked the controlDict file. There is no application command. Does anyone explain this for me?

Thank you in advance!

Best,

Alex

han0459,

HELYX-OS only allows users to use a small group of solvers inside the GUI. If you want to use other solvers or setting form OpenFOAM, one must do these outside the GUI. You can still use HELYX-OS to create your geometry and mesh, but all of your boundary conditions and setting must then be done by hand via the text files.
