Hello everybody 

At the moment I am doing a heat radiation simulation with the viweFactor model in OpenFOAM 8. It is about modeling the solar radiation on a mirror and reflecting it to a plate, I am not using the solid domains but I am modeling only the air domain. My problem is that I don't know which are the files or directories that I need to model the radiation with the viewFaxctor model?

Could you help me with an example, so I can develop my case study?

Thanks
