Hi everyone,
I have a big problem. I have to do a simulation with elasticWallPressure and work the parallel, but it doesn't work in Openfoam 7. I also tried the robin3dTube tutorial and it doesn't work in parallel.

Instead the boundary conditions movingWallPressure and Robin give the following error:

FOAM FATAL ERROR:

request for volVectorField ddt(U) from objectRegistry fluid failed
available objects of type volVectorField are

5
(
grad(p)
cellMotionU
U_0
U
HbyA
)

I'm trying to add volVectorField ddt(U) in pisoFoam.C but fail.

Thanks for your help

Hi Neb,

Try the latest version of solids4foam from https://solids4foam.github.io.

You will see that the Robin method is used in the fourth tutorial: https://solids4foam.github.io/tutorials/tutorial4.html

Thanks, I'll try to use the new version!

Hi, I tried the 3dTube tutorial but it explodes after few steps. I notice a rapid growth of the forces exchanged at the interface up to enormous values.
I have used pimpleFluid with both Dirichlet-Neumann and Robin.
What's up? When I tested the tutorials I found errors.
I used Openfoam-9.

The movingWallPressure boundary condition produces the same error of old version, which does not find the field ddt(U).

Thank you

Hi Neb,

At https://solids4foam.github.io/tutorials/tutorial4.html you will see that the Robin condition is only currently compatible with foam-extend-4.1 (as it requires changes to the pimpleFluid solver).

Currently, the Robin conditions do not work with OpenFOAM-9 and OpenFOAM-v2012. I have just created an issue at https://github.com/solids4foam/solids4foam/issues/26 so this does not get forgotten. The change should not be too difficult to make, but pimpleFluid/pimpleFoam looks a bit different between the different versions.

Yes, now I read about it into the tutorial. I needed openfoam-9 to take advantage of codedFixedValue which is not there in foam-extend. Is there a similar functionality to codedFixedValue in foam-extend? I absolutely need it.

[bigphil]

foam-extend-4.1 (or foam-extend-5.0) does not seem to have a codeFixedValue or similar, although it does have codedFunctionObject.

I see the following options:

• Create a custom boundary condition for foam-extend, which hard-codes the behaviour you want
• Use groovyBC, although I have not checked if it is compatible.
• In soldis4foam, port the Robin-related changes in pimpleFluid.foamextend.C to pimpleFluid.foundation.C

Hi, I'm trying to transfer the fixes from the two solvers like you suggested. I've fixed tons of bugs, but there are a few left that I can't fix. I'm not very experienced with this language. Could I have help?


Update:
I fixed other errors and I have only one left on the cumulativeContErr_(0) function. But I realized that this error also appears in the original version of solids4Foam. I attach the log file log.Allwmake_solids4foam.txt.

Hello,
I'm trying my simulation on foam-extend. It gives me this error:

The model is produced with ANSA v 21. With openFoam 7, 9 there are no problems with this model.

Thank you

[bigphil]

Does this mesh work with other solves in foam-extend? For example, does it work if you use laplacianFoam?

[bigphil]

Hi Neb,

Can you please post the top 20-30 lines of the solid/polyMesh/faces file?

Hi, many thanks for your contribution!
I tried to run the microBeamInCrossFlow tutorial case in parallel. This case works well in serial, however, we are faced with following problems while in parallel running:

I noticed some others are also being faced with the same issues. Do you have any suggestions on this？

Feel free to add an issue at https://github.com/solids4foam/solids4foam; please also include details of which version of OpenFOAM you are using.

Separately, you may like to check if the other tutorials work in parallel for you.
