To add a new solver to FoamX you have to write the corresponding configuration file.

The easiest way is to take the configuration (.cfg) file of a standard application which behaves similarly to the one you want to add from $FOAMX_SYSTEM_CONFIG and to copy it to FOAMX_USER_CONFIG/applications/incompressible/myFoam, where myFoam is the name of your solver.

Adapt the configuration file and the dictionaries to your needs and change /Make/files to match your application name.

Create a case (right click on the root directory in the case browser) and you will have myFoam to choose from.
