To invoke SU2 from c++

[dlyltm]

Is there API in SU2? I want to invoke SU2's API(if exits) or function from c++ in vs under Windows, how to do it?

Everything you can do with the python wrapper exists in c++

OK, thanks. But I don't know how to use python.

SU2 is written in C++, so you if you are writing something in C++, you can just include/call/link whatever stuff from SU2 you need to your C++ code. Only if you want to call SU2 functions from another programming language you need an API, like the python API, aka the python wrapper.
So:

1. you write something in C++? -> Just use the SU2 include files
2. you write something in python -> use the python API (we have pysu2)

Thanks. Can I call SU2's code with c++ in VS?

[bigfooted]

Yes, you can call SU2 code with C++, because it is C++.

Is there a guide to API or functions of SU2? I'm sorry I couldn't find it.
