Hello together.

I implemented a new turbulence model in ...OpenFOAM-1.5/src/turbulenceModels/RAS/incompressible/NewModel with the wmake command. Running it the following error occurred:
Code:
...Unknown RASModel type NewModel

Valid RASModel types are :

15
(
NonlinearKEShih
kEpsilon
realizableKE
LienCubicKELowRe
LienLeschzinerLowRe
LaunderSharmaKE
laminar
SpalartAllmaras
LienCubicKE
LamBremhorstKE
RNGkEpsilon
LRR
QZeta
LaunderGibsonRSTM
kOmegaSST
)


    From function RASModel::New(const volVectorField&, const surfaceScalarField&, transportModel&)
    in file RASModel/newRASModel.C at line 80.

FOAM exiting
I thought - copying the structure of an existing turbulence model and compiling is enough to add a new model - obviously it's not...

What is to do to implement a new turbulence model correctly?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Sven

I found my mistake - forgot ta add EXE = $(FOAM_USER_APPBIN)/NewModel in Make/files!
