customize semiImplicitSource

chen112p · June 25, 2022, 10:46

Hello, I am trying to add some custom features to semiImplicitSource library. However, without touching the core parts of the code, FOAM couldnt read the new library for some reasons. Hope someone can help me with this.

So I first copied the source code (the entire src/fvOptions to be safe) to somewhere other than $FOAM_SRC. Then I changed $FOAM_LIBBIN in Make/files to $FOAM_USER_LIBBIN and removed the unnecessary items in files. Then I changed type name in SemiImplicitSource.H to something other than "SemiImplicitSource" (ie. jtSemiImplicitSource) so when I call this library I know I'm not calling the original one.

Compile went ok (because technically I didnt change anything), but when adding the new type to fvOptions, FOAM tells me the new type name Im using (ie. scalarjtSemiImplicitSource) is not found.

Can someone tell me what is missing here?

If your library loads properly, it sounds like you forgot to register your sources.

Eg,

Code:

makeFvOption(SemiImplicitSource, scalar);

Hello, I have recently encountered this problem, also just change SemiImplicitSource to mySemiImplicitSource in the file name and SemiImplicitSource to mySemiImplicitSource in the content of the file, it compiles successfully, but when using it I can't load the library. It compiles successfully, but when I use it, I can't load the library in fvoptons, besides, the code makeFvOption(SemiImplicitSource, scalar); exists in the original file, may I know how else to solve it?
