General guidelines for submitting issues

We are keen to hear feedback from our users and welcome feature requests, which can also be submitted via the issue tracker.

When reporting a bug in OpenFOAM, please provide sufficient detail for us to understand your problem. This should include:

OpenFOAM version : determine by one of these methods:
- wmake -build-info or wmake -version
- From the META-INFO/api-info and META-INFO/build-info files. They contains version (api) information.
- From any OpenFOAM utility. Eg, blockMesh -help
Operating system, compiler, etc.
- Check your installation by running foamInstallationTest. This will return an extended log, from which you can focus on the "Basic setup" and "Software Components" sections.
- Find your Linux distribution and version by running lsb_release -a.
The circumstances that provoke the bug, i.e. the application being run and under which conditions.
- Be as specific as possible and provide extended log parts.
Where appropriate, please include a small test case.
- Prepare a minimal working example using a small mesh and just the conditions that trigger the issue, if possible.
- Use an official tutorial to demonstrate the problem, if possible.
Provide a suggested fix (where possible)
- You can prepare a patch using git-format-patch. Please use the latest state of the develop branch as a starting point. For example, running git format-patch origin will extract all the commits in your local branch but not in the remote repository.
