I am learning how to add a use
 

I am learning how to add a user defined application, and I copied the dielseFoam in /application/ and change the file names to MyFoam and compiled it successfully,the path is set as follows:
EXE= $(FOAM_APPBIN)/MyFoam
but when run FoamX after that, I can not find this application solver in the standard solver list in FoamX, what should/can do to add it to the standard application list?

Search the board for FOAMX_USE
 

Search the board for FOAMX_USER_CONFIG and you should pick up a thread discussing how to do this.

good luck,

Mattijs

hi, 1-to add a user defined
 

hi,

1-to add a user defined application, i copied the icoFoam in /application/ and change the file name to buildingFoam , but when i compiled it, the path is set as follows:

EXE=$(FOAM_APPBIN)/icoFoam why?
because , i think that when compilation is made successfully, the true path is set as follows:

EXE=$(FOAM_APPBIN)/buildingFoam

can you explain me where is a problem
2- i must rename icoFoam.C to buildingFoam.C?(when i do this the code does not compile)

thank you

Have you edited Make/files to
 

Have you edited Make/files to correspond to the new name of the application?

hi, no, i did not made edit
 

hi,

no, i did not made edition in Make/file.

then, i must edit Make/file and change $(FOAM_APPBIN)/icoFoam to $(FOAM_APPBIN)/buildingFoam?
I must remove the expression icoFoam and replace it by buildingFoam?

thank you

That would be a good start. I
 

That would be a good start. It would also be a good idea to use FOAM_USER_APPBIN rather than FOAM_APPBIN. By the way all this is covered in UserGuide.pdf which is supplied with the release and is also available from the web-site.

hi,
i edited in Make/files file :

but when i do runFoamX, I can not find this application solver in the standard solver list in FoamX

can you explain me please where is the procedure to add it in standard solver list?

thank you

If you want to setup FoamX for
 

If you want to setup FoamX for your new solver you will have to create configuration files for it. Take a look at the configuration files for the standard applications in OpenFOAM-1.1/applications/utilities/preProcessing/FoamX/config/applications

hi,
i copied all files with extension .cfg from icoFoam to buildingFoam and replaced icoFoam expression by buildinFoam ,then configuration files have been created, but buildingFoam solver not appear when runing FoamX.

why?

thank you

i configured all files , i have buildingFoam.cfg file and in that file, i have executable buildingFoam.

can you help me please?

I have no idea what you are do
 

I have no idea what you are doing wrong and I haven't got any spare time right now to investigate because I am busy preparing the next release, perhaps someone else can help you.

hi, chafi fatima zohra, maybe you can solve the problem as followings:

1. find the controlDic file in the path
home/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.1/.OpenFOAM-1.1/

2. add the following sentence to the file
"$FOAM_RUN/tutorials/buildinFoam"

Good Luck!!
