Hi Santiago,

Thank you very much for the reply I appreciate it! I managed to get some success using OF-v1806 (discarding the GUI), I didn't manage to complete either of the first tutorials on the IHFoam website however, due to errors.

Could I ask with IHFoam now intergrated into official OpenFOAM releases, is the interFoam solver the same as the ihFoam solver? Is there any need to comile the IHFoam source code?

Cheers
Callum

Hi CallumG,

IHFOAM will be added in the future to the official release, meanwhile you must compile it as it is explained here:

Hi IHFoam Team,

I'm quite new with openfoam.
I'm trying to run the tutorials but I'm having problems with blockMesh. I'm getting this error message: (I have ubuntu 20.04)
ERROR!! /usr/bin/sh: 136: .: Can't open /openfoam7/etc/config.sh/functions

I changed the permissions of the complete openfoam installation folder to be read, write and execute, but the problem remains.

My OF installation is working perfectly outside the IHFoam GUI.

It is possible to run IHFoam with OF7?? (downloaded from https://openfoam.org/).

Thanks!

Hi Tomás,

It is possible to run IHFoam with OF7?? (downloaded from https://openfoam.org/).

No, it just compiles and runs for ESI's official release (https://www.openfoam.com/)

Hi

what's wrong ?

Please, check that you are trying to install IHFOAM-v1812, because it seems that you are using an old version.
Download it from here:
https://ihfoam.ihcantabria.com/source-code/

any wone can help me to resolve this problems?

Please, look for more info here:
https://ihfoam.ihcantabria.com/model/gui/
And use the tutorials to start learning how to use it:

Hello, IHFOAM Team,

in your tutorial "Breaking solitary waves on a mild slope (2D)", the "U" in "outlet" of "0.org" shall be updated to
outlet { type noSlip; }
from
outlet { type waveVelocity; value uniform (0 0 0); }
why or is it correct?

yes, the outlet in this case is on bank top, i.e. is open/air (instead of inside water), so the "type waveVelocity;" of U needs update, but why "noSlip"?


thanks, best

@Doum2 "... can you ... show me how you compile IHFoam ? ....":
Compiling "GUI": I've no experience, assume, following the manual, it can be done
Comiling "command version": there's also manual, according to which compiling can be done by means online or offline

I'm sorry once again for my questions but this time I have a new error which appears after I run the set patches names command as you can see on the screenshots
I have checked the project folder and the blockMeshDict file exists with the settings I entered on IHFoam GUI.

any Idea?

Thanks for your attention and providing this Amazing tool

I agree that adding this "export icon" to export data as csv would be awesome and really help those that don't usually work with Linux and Python. Otherwise, the tool is becoming great!
Do you have an ETA on when the "Export Case" button will be available?


Thanks!

ms.hasempour I found a Python script that exports the line probes data to a csv file, it is easy to use and seems to work well: https://github.com/NKrvavica/LineProbes


I also recommend making it executable and adding to the $PATH if you want to use it often, as suggested by him.


Let me know if you need help using it!

I'm trying to use the GUI with OpenFoam-v2012 but I'm also getting the "The OpenFoam path was not found..." error.

OpenFoam itself is working fine, and I have specified the correct path in the GUI (/opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2012)

Can anyone help out where I'm going wrong?

Thank you!

Cheers

Hello everyone!

I want to use IHFOAM for modeling solitary waves impacting two cylinders.

Unfortunately, I am having problems installing the tool. On the Ubuntu Virtual machine I have already installed OpenFOAM version 8. I also downloaded IHFOAM software and, after receiving the email from The IHFOAM Team, I cloned the repository with the reference manual, additional materials and tutorials on my computer. I can't update the software with "git checkout" and "git pull" and also from the GUI I can't even load a tutorial. I was wondering if you would be kind enough to help me solve this problem.

Thank you in advance!

Did you find any answers to the above problems? (i'm having the same issues). I think it may be related to the Nvidia drivers but I've tried installing the correct drivers with no luck.

Further to my earlier post, I've reinstalled OpenFoam in the User directory, but still getting the "The OpenFoam path was not found... error". In the GUI, it doesn't seem to remember the locations for OpenFoam or Paraview?

[shicks99]

I have installed OpenFoamv1906 (and also have tried with OpenFoamv2012 and I get the same issue). I have downloaded the IHFoam installer (IHFoamV2_3). When I run the installer, I get the following error:


QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-shicks33'
qt.qpa.screen: QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display
Could not connect to any X display.

Any suggestions as to what could be causing this and how to resolve it?

Thanks!

For new cases, you must always define which OF and Paraview version you are using. (Click en Edit-->Preferences.)
