Hello

I have openFoam 2.2.0 and want to try dynamicTopoFvMesh with it. Does anyone know if it will work?

Alternatively, is there any solver or setup of dynamicMeshDict in OF2.2.0 that supports mesh update as shown in the video in this link or in these pictures??

I have tried interDyMFoam for falling objects but it only seems to work fine when the final position of the falling object is close to its initial position.

Paritosh,

Yes - it should work with OpenFOAM-2.2.x. Once you clone the repository from github, you can switch to the Port-2.2.x branch by doing this:

git checkout Port-2.2.x

You can then follow the installation instructions in the ReadMe on that branch. If you'd like to experiment, perhaps you could help me port it to OpenFOAM-2.3.x by testing the compile and reporting errors to me.

Thanks Sandeep. I will try that and get back here.

I tried following the installation instructions from the Install.txt file and it did not compile the solver.

Again I have openFoam 2.2.0 on ubuntu 12.04. I have openFoam installation is in the /opt folder and the solver folder on the desktop. Here is what I did.

1. Open $FOAM_SRC/dynamicFvMesh/Make/files. BUT I did not edit it as the lines to be commented according to Install.txt were not there.
   
   I have attached the 'files' file.
   
2. Execute ./Allwclean command.
3. Execute ./Allwmake libso command.

I have attached the error file. I am not very good at c++ so you have to be bear with me!

For now I could only figure out that the Mesquite_all_headers.hpp file is missing.

[vasava]

May be this is due to the options file in
dynamicTopoFvMesh/mesquiteMotionSolver/Make .

EXE_INC = \
    -I$(MESQUITE_DIR)/include \
    -I$(LIB_SRC)/meshTools/lnInclude \
    -I$(LIB_SRC)/dynamicMesh/lnInclude \

LIB_LIBS = \
    -lmeshTools \
    -ldynamicMesh \
    -L$(MESQUITE_LIB_DIR) -lmesquite

The directories and files related to MESQUITE.

Sandeep,

I installed mesquite-2.3.0 with following instructions

1. Download source from https://software.sandia.gov/mesquite/
2. In Bash: export MESQUITE_DIR=$WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/mesquite-x.x.x
3. ./configure \
   --prefix=$MESQUITE_DIR \
   --enable-release \
   --disable-debug-assertions \
   --disable-igeom \
   --disable-imesh \
   --disable-irel \
   --enable-shared \
   --without-cppunit \
   --enable-trap-fpe \
   --disable-function-timers
4. Once configured, proceed with 'make' and 'make install'
5. In Bash: export MESQUITE_LIB_DIR=$MESQUITE_DIR/lib64

Next,

1. Downloaded dynamicTopoFvMesh with git.
   git clone https://github.com/smenon/dynamicTopoFvMesh
2. ./Allwmake

However again I got the same error (see attached log file). Again I would like to mention that my openfoam (version 2.2.0) installation is in /opt file, the dynamicTopoFvMesh solver folder is on desktop and the meshquite folder is in home.

Can you please check and guide me through this.

Hi Paritosh

Just want to know if you got your dynamicTopoFvMesh working yet? I finally figured it out here.

As Sandeep said, right after you clone his repository, checkout as Port-2.3.x and only then do ./Allwmake.

There are some other things I did to ensure the libraries was included.

Kind regards

Hei PickIER,

Not yet. To be honest I kind of gave up due to lack of time. Meanwhile I switched to 2.3.0 and tried again but it did not work. I had a quick look at your thread and I suppose I need to switch to 2.3.x to make things work.

I am also discussing this issue with Bruno Santos (wyldcKat). Although its been sometime since he sent any response. You can see the thread here.

Thanks for the reply and pointing to your thread. I will read it carefully and get back if I need guidance.

Hi Paritosh

You are a step ahead of me I see. I am still trying to get the tutorial cases to work. Will give update as I make progress.

I will monitor that thread of you and Bruno

Thanks for the reply
