Has anyone tried the propeller tutorial in openFoam??
If yes let me know how to go about it.

Hello Sachin,

It was yesterday I was struggling finding a case that I ran propeller case. If you've noticed, there are 2 scripts; Allrun and Allrun.pre.
Start with Allrun.pre and give it sometimes. You might think it is doing nothing, but it actually uses snappyhexamesh to triangulate the hexameshes. the mesh also seem pretty heavy cuz I had difficulty viewing that via xserver. Once you are done with the first script, the its time to run the second script(Allrun). It took my system like 20 minutes to finish running the first script. Try it this way and I hope it works.

Good luck
Smran

Thank you smran. I ll try it the way you mentioned and let you know with the result.

and dont forget, like Chen mentioned pimpleDyMFoam is the solver your need to run after the scripts are finished pre processing.

Good luck
