waves2Foam is an additional library and solver for OpenFOAM.

Was going to suggest building it for OpenFOAM 3, but it appears OpenFOAM 4 just came out two days ago - check on waves2Foam compatibility when we start this, as 4 is not currently mentioned.

Sounds like OpenFOAM 3 should be used.

I have asked waves2Foam if they will be releasing a version for OpenFOAM 4.0.0 soon, they said they should do but due to significant changes to the source code it may lack some of its original functionality. So I personally would recommend updating to version 3 of OpenFOAM.

OpenFOAM is setup so users can install their own modules.

waves2Foam is designed to be installed by the user and not centrally. Note: users need to have domain knowledge.

User has been informed and has the version of OpenFOAM they wanted (2.4.0).
