Hi all,
this is my first post. I work in the fire engineering industry and I am working mainly with FDS. The biggest problem with this program is that does not simulate the sprinkler effect properly.

After some research I have found that there is an open foam code, firefoam https://github.com/fireFoam-dev. FM global, one of the most important insurance company is using this code to simulate the sprinkler effect.

So I am trying to getting started with open foam and then trying to use this FireFoam code.

Since I am used to more userfriendly program (I know, I am boring), I have some question that I cannot find on internet:

1)I have installed openfoam from this site http://www.openfoam.com/download/install-windows.php
on windows 10. How can I test that the installation was done properly?
2) I cannot paste and copy in the openfoam window. Is there a special mode to paste that isn't ctrl+v?
3) Is necessary to install paraview to use openfoam and firefoam?Is this the best visual platform?

Thanks in advance... please be kind, it is my first post and my first experience with openfoam
