<!-- On the 24th of April 2019 the server will be (physically) moved to a new location. It will not be available during that time and unfortunately there will be no replacement server. The expected downtime will be from 8:00 CEST to 14:00. Sorry for any inconvenince this may cause -->

<!-- HTTPs server certificate updated -->
<!-- This Wiki has a [[News/Update_of_Wiki-Software_and_new_look|new look]] -->
<!-- User account creation has been modified due to excessive user creation by spambots. To create a user you have to provide an Email-adress to which a confirmation mail will be sent. The account will be approved by a human (this may take a couple of days, sorry). If you don't get a confirmation mail or an account approvement, please contact me [http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam/60855-wiki.html here].-->
<!-- Server currently in read-only mode! Reason is that the server machine is moved to another office and in the mean-time a replacement server is used. As all edits on the replacement server would be lost this is turned off. Normal operations should resume on the 30th of June 2022. For updates see [https://twitter.com/ofwiki @ofwiki]. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause ->
<!-- This is the replacement server that will eventually move to the proper domain but is currently being tested -->
<!-- The Wiki has been moved to a new machine. Unfortunately currently functionality that involves the sending of mail (mostly new user registration) is broken. Working on it. For updates see [https://twitter.com/ofwiki @ofwiki]. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause -->

<!-- <div style="font-size:111%; border:solid 2px; margin:0; padding:.1em; background:#f99;">Currently links to [http://sourceforge.net/projects/openfoam-extend/ openfoam-extend] on [http://sourceforge.net/ Sourceforge] are not working because this project was taken offline. Sourceforge says "because there was a copyright complaint filed". Currently no more information is available
'''Update''': takedown was initiated by ANSYS and concerned a different project on sourceforge. [http://sourceforge.net/projects/openfoam-extend/ openfoam-extend] should be back online soon</div> -->
<!-- <div style="font-size:111%; border:solid 2px; margin:0; padding:.1em; background:#f99;">Currently links to the SVN and GIT repositories of [http://sourceforge.net/projects/openfoam-extend/ openfoam-extend] on [http://sourceforge.net/ Sourceforge] are not working because these were taken offline. The reason for that is that ANSYS claimed three classes (none of them really essential) of the 1.6-ext are under their copyright. The matter has been legally resolved but currently [http://sourceforge.net/ Sourceforge] is not responding to requests to reopen the repositories. All other services at [http://sourceforge.net/projects/openfoam-extend/ openfoam-extend] are still functional.</div> -->
<!-- <div style="font-size:111%; border:solid 2px; margin:0; padding:.1em; background:#f99;">After some downtime the repositories of the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/openfoam-extend/ OpenFOAM-extend project] are fully operational [[News/OpenFOAM-extend_fully_operational_again|again]]. The addresses of the repositories have changed.
