when I run quickstart in debug mode, I found I can debug solid-cpp code in QT, but how can I debug openfoam-adapter code? If openfoam-adapter call from openfoam source code ? ok, and same question is how can I debug caculix-adapter code ? If caculix-adapter call from caculix source code ? ---

Hi @ilovenili, as I guess you would expect an answer from me, I do not typically use any debugger with the OpenFOAM adapter. Plain old print statements it is… But I would not be surprised if VSCode could manage to set up a debugger for you. In any case, please reply here is you find any good solution. There was recently a relevant training session at the OpenFOAM Workshop, maybe you can learn something from that: [18th OpenFOAM Workshop - OpenFOAM Code Debugging and Profiling - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3UhJXdwOuE&list=WL) ---

it seems that I must download openfoam source code
