1 Description
The objective of this page is to provide a centralized list of ideas for new wiki pages and ideas for improving existing pages.
If you want to add a new idea, simple add it to the correct section. If you want to discuss or ask about any one of the still open idea topics, please use the discussion page Talk:FAQ/Wiki/Ideas.
1.1 Ideas for new pages
1.1.1 The page Installation/Linux/OpenFOAM-2.2.x does not yet exist
The page Installation/Linux/OpenFOAM-2.2.x doesn't exist yet, because it's waiting for the page Installation/Linux/OpenFOAM-2.1.x to be completed, so that a quick copy-paste-adapt procedure could be performed.
Nonetheless, feel free to write a new one, even if only partially based on the incomplete one Installation/Linux/OpenFOAM-2.1.x.
1.1.2 Create a new page for gathering links and bibliography on comparisons between OpenFOAM and commercial CFD
This is a frequent question asked on the forum and we haven't got yet a complete list on OpenFOAM vs commercial CFD.
This was originally suggested by Far to Wyldckat, with this link on CFX vs OpenFOAM: [1]
1.1.3 Create the page for multiphaseEulerFoam
Create the page for multiphaseEulerFoam and add this valuable information: [2]
Create an HowTo page for this: [3]
Keep in mind that navalFoam and shipFoam are somewhat related to each other.
1.1.5 Create the dedicated page for function objects
Create the dedicated section for Main_OFFunctionObjects and move the following pages to there:
- Using the function object systemCall
- Using the function object writeRegisteredObject
- Using the function object jobControl
In addition, add a redirect for the page functionObjects, which is very used in a lot of the utilities Main_OFUtilities.
1.1.6 Create a page dedicated to running in parallel
Running OpenFOAM is parallel is a major topic and deserves its own main page and subpages that explain each topic.
There is a blog post with a good compilation of information on this topic: Notes about running OpenFOAM in parallel
1.2 Ideas for improving existing pages
1.2.1 Ideas for new FAQ entries
1.2.1.1 How to provide a test case for the forum
Many of new OpenFOAM users haven't got a clear idea on how example cases should be provided on the forum, so that it's easier to assist them. Therefore, we need a FAQ entry that explains how to prepare such a case.
1.2.1.2 How to find dictionary files
This is one of those basic finds on Linux and Mac OS X, which should be as simple as running the command:
find $WM_PROJECT_DIR -name "*Dict"
1.2.1.3 Create entry that explains how to update the OF version images
Basically, the idea is to Copy-paste-improve Help_talk:Editing onto [[4]]. The template package was created and dropped at Help_talk:Editing, but no specific instructions are provided on how to use them and apply them.
1.2.1.4 Compile information on ParaView/paraFoam
User:Wyldckat has already created several helpful posts at CFD-Online's forums on how to use ParaFoam and ParaView:
The objective is to compile the a FAQ list on all of the explained topics so far, so that it'll be easier to find said solutions.
1.2.2 Improvements for HowTo_debugging
1.2.2.1 Add information on how to to make sure flags defined for custom boundary conditions get processed
This is explained: here
