Hello

Can you help to fix this problem?

Indeed I am using OPenFOAM4.1 and compiled Wave2Foam . The tutorial works well but when i run wmake in /OpenFOAM/ben-4.1/applications/utilities/waves2Foam/applications/solvers/solvers410/waveFoam$

The feedback given is:

mkdir: cannot create directory ‘’: No such file or directory
/opt/openfoam4/wmake/makefiles/general:132: recipe for target '/waveFoam' failed
make: *** [/waveFoam] Error 1


I would appreciate your support!

regard!

I am using the waves2foam-OceanWave3D coupling (which by the way is a great feature. Thanks for implementing it!!) for my master Thesis.
In order to do so I am trying tho learn OceanWave3D.
Since there is no user manual to OceanWave3D I am having some issues, specially when trying to set up 3D-Cases.
I am wondering whether any of you have any suggestions for Literature on OceanWave3D or maybe course material that he or she would be willing to share.

Thanks a lot for your help,
Jost

Dear Jo,

I first apologize bcz i don't have any direction to give regarding ur question.
But you can help if you can. Indeed, I need wave2Foam for my masters thesis but i have failed to compile it correctly in OpenFoam-4.1. May you help? Which version are you using?
The error encountered is posted above yours!

I would appreciate!

Thx.

Dear Ben,

I am using OpenFoam-4.1.
This little workaround might help, even though there are probably more sophisticated ways of solving your problem:
when you go to the waves2Foam/applications/solvers directory you will see that there is no folder for OpenFOAM-4.1.
So what worked for me (and again this is probably not "best practice") was copying the solvers400 folder and naming it solvers410.
To be honest it might be possible that this has absolutely nothing to do with your problem but I am sure you are happy for every hint

regards,
Jost


P.S.
you should be aware though that there are features of w2f that do not work on of41
(namely the wavegaugesAndProbes as far as I know)

Is every thing of w2f working for you? if yes share me where you got the sources codes
Which version do you command i can go for so that w2f works correctly?

Thank you for quick feedback!

Hi Ben,

I downloaded w2f from

http://svn.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-ex...her/waves2Foam

as in the user manual ( https://www.researchgate.net/profile...oam-Manual.pdf ).

As stated in the manual (Warning 1.1) the wave Gauges are not working on of41 apart from that I did not have any problems so far.
