Hello OFoamers,

I've read the user's guide and the programmer's guide and run the cases in them.

The tutorial describe the some of the code's mean but there are lots of code's mean I dont know.

Now I'm learning C++.but I find there are few links between C++ and OF.

My purpose is to understand the most of the code's mean,and try to modify it.

What should I do next?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
if you prefer Python instead of C++ for working with OpenFOAM
You might also be interested to have a look at PythonFLU

There is new training material from the 7th OpenFOAM Workshop that is worth having a look at. Especially if you are interested in Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI)
