Hi, I am a newbie using OpenFoam and about to create a simulation of oceanic wave. Through my researches, I found out to use the wave2Foam library. I followed the installation steps stated in this link https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Contrib/waves2Foam however as mentioned there might come an error when "Allwmake" file is run. As I run the said file I encountered this error:

FATAL ERROR.
The directory path /home/user/OpenFOAM/user-3.0.0/applications/utilities/waves2Foam does not exist.
Correct the path in bin/bashrc

This means that you should correct the environmental variable $WAVES_DIR
such that it is pointed (in absolute sense) to the path, where waves2Foam
is located.

Please note that once bin/bashrc is created, bin/bashrc.org is only an
inactive file. The latter is also the only of the two files, which is
updated through the SVN-repository.

I know that the error is on the target file path. My problem is what file path should I replace in the "bashrc" file.

1. My OpenFoam installation folder is located at /opt/openfoam30
2. And my working directory for projects is located in /home/user/OpenFoam/user-3.0.0

Any comment will be appreciated.

Hi, check out OLAFOAM (https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Contrib/OLAFOAM)
Much easier to install on openfoam3.0!
