F.A.Q.

Which IDE should I use?

An experienced programmer will use any IDE. For beginners, NetBeans is recommended.

How do I compile MacroUtils as a JAR file?

A simple procedure is explained below using NetBeans:

1. Download the wanted repository from GitHub;
2. Create a new Project in NetBeans using existing sources;
3. Add the STAR-CCM+ libraries to the current Project;
4. Compile the Project using Shift-F11 shortcut;
5. MacroUtils.jar should be available in the dist folder.

How do I add the MacroUtils.jar file as a library in NetBeans?

The process is the same as adding STAR-CCM+ libraries. Just create a new Library and point to the MacroUtils JAR file. Additionally one can add the javadoc information as well.

How do I play MacroUtils demos into STAR-CCM+?

Once you have a MacroUtils JAR file just point it to the User Macro Classpath under STAR-CCM+ Options menu.

Where do I get the support files for the MacroUtils demos?

The support files are attached in the posts of the MacroHUT forum.
