Modify a solver

mcfdma · September 16, 2019, 10:28

I have modified interFoam solver without making any changes within.

I have already had a look at https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/H...ure_to_icoFoam and have been successful with the example.

I have changed the folder name
changed the .C file
changed the Make-files

Code:

XFoam.C

EXE = $(FOAM_USER_APPBIN)/XFoam

but I get an error when I compile

Code:

Where am I going wrong?

My first guess would be don't use a space in a file name in linux. Rather than "new linear", try "new_linear".

mcfdma · September 16, 2019, 13:03

My folder name doesnt have any space (changed from interFoam to XFoam)

Somewhere the compiler is seeing "new linear" and bombing on that. Because there is white space between those words the compiler sees it as a name and a modifier. I am not familiar with openFoam or any of its derivatives, but your compiler problem seems to be that "new linear" doesn't need to appear as two words. Find that and you'll probably fix your problem.
