Hello,


During my (4-month) internship I got to work with OpenFOAM (v2.3.x) for the first time. For it, I wrote a custom CloudFunctionObject.

Since I hate to work with black boxes, I looked into the source code and tried to comprehend how OpenFOAM handles certain things. While I did, I've created some UML diagrams related to {FunctionObjects, the lagrangian library, and CloudFunctionObjects}.
These are qualitative diagrams showing the calling sequence of the important methods, helpful for new users (interested in the source code) to trace what OpenFOAM is doing.


I'd like to release these somewhere, but I do not know where. The cfd-online wiki seems too general for something as specific as OpenFOAM UML diagrams. The OpenFOAM (unofficial) wiki doesn't seem to have the ability for users to contribute: it seems more like a change log and a feature listing.

Can anyone recommend a place of releasing those / what is convenient for the OpenFOAM community?

I guess the extend-wiki should be the place
http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Main_Page

It is a bit unstructured as well though, and people seem to creating pages a bit randomly. But by all means, that's better than not sharing your data at all, so go ahead .

I am personally interested in the UML for the function objects .

Hi,
another source might be
http://www.cocoons-project.org/ => CoCoons Project - Community-driven Documentation of OpenFOAM® Technology
you might discuss on http://www.extend-project.de/ where else to publish your UML diagramms

Thank you for your replies.

I've requested an account for openfoamwiki.net, and the request is currently pending.

Don't get your hopes up for the FunctionObjects though. That part is very limited, since it was not my primary focus for my research.

The CoCoons project sounds interesting/promising, but for me to get started it seems easier to give the wiki a try first and take it from there.
Also, I'm wondering... Isn't OF-extend a different version of OF than OF 2.3.x? I'm relatively new to OF (~4 months), and I have compared the interFoam solver of OF-extend and OF-2.3.x and it gave different results for the same parameters indicating it is different. It did, however, give the same results as OF-2.2.x.

I've put them at the following location (at least for now):

Hi Kevin,

your page has been mentioned by (Guru) Bernhard Gschaider

The Wiki now has 666 pages. The „page of the beast“ is http://bit.ly/12eysN5 Confused because it seems to become a good page

many thanks for your contribution

Thanks for mentioning that (I don't use Twitter) - that sure is a good way to get kickstarted. Although some people might dodge the page now.

Secretly, I've been waiting for years for the wiki to arrive at a special number... Although I still haven't figured out where I can see the number - which I might not even be able to see, since Bernhard says here that it is shown in the Server Software.

Nice that your Page is 666 !
