Hi everybody, i have the same error while compiling solid4Foam:

 /usr/bin/ld: impossibile trovare -lgfortran

i have already installed gfortran, gcc and g++ and all are at the same version:

GNU Fortran (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu1~20.04) 9.3.0

.


I'm working on Ubuntu 20.04, with foam extended 4.0


Thanks a lot for your help

Hi Filippo,


Fe40 works with gcc-5 and g++-5, so you have to install gfortran-5.


I am working with fe41 and I have to install gfortran-7 in order to install solids4Foam, because fe41 works with gcc-7 and g++-7.


Regards.

To add to dewey's answer:

Even though gcc-9 is the default version on Ubuntu 20.04, I suspect that foam-extend-4.0 is using gcc-5 or similar as I don't think foam-extend will compile with gcc-9 (at least without many changes).

thank you so much dewey and philip, now i have compiled solids4Foam


All the best

Hi

Did you manage to solve your problem?

I had the same problem too when installing in my new laptop, the FE40 was installed and running perfectly.

But couldn't type in solids4Foam

"solids4Foam: command not found"

Please help

I tried to run the punch tutorial and in the log files, and Paraview I see the process is conducted until the solids4Foam part. On screen even, seems to run fine:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

but then the log.solids4Foam says /home/alejandra/foam/foam-extend-4.1/bin/tools/RunFunctions: línea 57: solids4Foam: Command not found.

Here you'll find attached the log files I mention.

Please attach the log from running this:

./Allwmake &> log.Allwmake

in the main solids4foam directory.

Thank you Phillip for the answer, just realized the solution already mentioned above.

I'm installing solids4Foam on Foam-Extend-4.0 and Ubuntu-20.04

sudo apt install gfortran-5
sudo apt-get update
./Allclean
./Allwmake

Could you please tell me where to download the solids4Foam release (in which directory I mean - ~/.. OR ~/foam/.. OR ~/foam/foamextend-4.0/..) and then how to proceed with the installation and the proper way to solve FSI problems? If there is any detailed documentation on that, it would be great of you if you could kindly share the same! Thank you in advance!

I am also unsure as to which directory I should download solids4foam into. Could someone please advise me?

Hi,


I've noticed that you succesfully installed and compiled foam extend 4.0 on ubuntu 20.04. I have had great trouble in doing this. Could you please provide me with the exact steps that you took and any modifications you made to the code to install it successfully?


Best regards

Hi Merlin,

You can try follow the (limited) documentation here: https://bitbucket.org/philip_cardiff...documentation/.

You can download solids4foam to anywhere you like; I place it in $FOAM_RUN/..

You can try the steps on the Wiki for installing foam-extend-4.0 on Ubuntu-20.04: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_20.04. There they mention to use gcc5 which should be fine, but in my experience you can also use gcc6 and gcc7 (maybe even gcc8, but FE40 does not compile with gcc9).

Ok thank you very much

Dear Prof. Cardiff,

I now need to set different soil properties (those in constant dictionary) in two regions. I tried to set them by using setFileds but it is not allowed. Do you have any ideas? Thanks.

This can be done in the mechanicalProperties using two (or more) material definitions, e.g. see solids4foam-release/tutorials/solids/multiMaterial.

For each material, it is expected that a cellZone exists with the same name, to designate the different material regions.

Thanks, Prof. But I did not see any case under multiMaterial. Only some blank files. In fact, what I want is to set different soil properties, such as hydraulicConductivity, etc.

These are symbolic links; if you click on one via bitbucket it will show you where it points.
As an example mechanicalProperties, see here: https://bitbucket.org/philip_cardiff...icalProperties, which is:

mechanical
(
    steel
    {
        type            linearElastic;
        rho             rho [1 -3 0 0 0 0 0] 7854;
        E               E [1 -1 -2 0 0 0 0] 200e+9;
        nu              nu [0 0 0 0 0 0 0] 0.3;
    }
    aluminium
    {
        type            linearElastic;
        rho             rho [1 -3 0 0 0 0 0] 7854;
        E               E [1 -1 -2 0 0 0 0] 2e+9;
        nu              nu [0 0 0 0 0 0 0] 0.2;
    }
);

However, for the porosity related properties used by the poro-elastic solid model, many parameters are currently only implemented as uniform scalars, for example the properties given in solidProperties:

    hydraulicConductivity  hydraulicConductivity [0 1 -1 0 0 0 0] 1e-3;
    porosity               porosity [0 0 0 0 0 0 0] 0.2;
    waterSpecificWeight    waterSpecificWeight [1 -2 -2 0 0 0 0] 9.807e+03;
    degreeOfSaturation     degreeOfSaturation [0 0 0 0 0 0 0] 0.9;
    waterBulkModulus       waterBulkModulus [1 -1 -2 0 0 0 0] 2.15e+09;

It should not be too difficult to add these as fields that are directly read by an appropriate mechanical law, e.g. poroAnisotropicBiot. You can create an feature request here: https://bitbucket.org/philip_cardiff...ew&status=open and/or you are welcome to add this feature yourself!

I was able to compile FE41 with gcc@9.3.0. However, I am not able to compile the development branch of solids4foam. Attached is my log.Allwmake file. The summary of errors is as follows:

Dear all,

I am trying to compile solids4foam with foam-extend 4.1 but I have problems.I don't know what to do to solve these problems. Hope to get some help here. Log file of my try of compilation process after errors occurred is attached.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

There seems to be a compatibility issue between the MPI used by your PETSc installation and the MPI used by your OpenFOAM installation.

One solution is to install solids4foam without PETSc support. To do this, unset the PETSC_DIR variable, i.e.

> unset PETSC_DIR
> ./Allwclean
> ./Allwmake

Or, if you do want to use solids4foam with PETSc then I suggest installing OpenFOAM using the system MPI (set in foam-extend-4.1/etc/bashrc), and similarly ensure PETSc was installed using the system MPI.

Philip
