Hi Niels,

Any chance you will be making waves2Foam compatible with the new OpenFOAM 4.0.0?

Best regards,

Hallo Alireza,

It is possible that waves2Foam will be made compatible with OpenFoam-4.0.0. There have been substantial changes in the code (see e.g. http://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=2134#c6474), so it will take a bit of time to handle the cross-version compatibility.

Furthermore, it appears that the approach to run-time sampling has changed substantially in OpenFoam-4.0.0 (functionObjects) and some of the canonical classes does no longer exist. Consequently, I cannot promise that sampling tools such as waveGauges and overtopping will be supported.

Kind regards,

Niels

Hello everyone,

Thanks Niels for the compiling of waves2Foam with OpenFOAM4.

I still get some stuffs happening for whatever the reason:
- some librairies doesn't compile because they try to compile with "extended" files
=> So in bin/bashrc: I manually fix: EXTBRANCH=0 (avaoiding the if loop)
=> When I compile I do get at the very beginning: EXTBRANCH=0
But then, the same compiling errors are done

The only solution I found was to go in files and comment the if loop to force the right #include:

/*if EXTBRANCH==1
    #if 310<OFVERSION
        #include "foamTime.H"
    #else
        #include "Time.H"
    #endif
#else
    #include "Time.H"
#endif*/
 #include "Time.H"

Hope it will help someone

Hi Pierre-Henri,

Are you sure that you are using Openfoam-40 and not the current development number for foam-extend-4.0? Something goes wrong elsewhere and I have not had those problems, so you need to provide more information.

I am currently on holiday, so do not know, when I check in again.

Make sure that you use the most recent version of the svn-repository.

Kind regards

Niels

Hello Niels,

I am sure I am using OpenFOAM-40 because I download it directly from :

http://openfoam.org/download/4-0-ubuntu/

And I followed the wiki for the install of waves2Foam, but svn doesn't work for me so I use:

git clone https://github.com/ogoe/waves2Foam

So I hope it is the same.

I am also having troubles compiling waveDyMFoam. I made a copy of interDyMFoam and follows the instructions to convert interFoam in waveFoam, but I still have some issues : createFields.H gives some troubles with readGravitationalAcceleration.H, readWaveProperties.H and createExternalWaveForcing.H.
If I come up with an answer I will post it here.

Enjoy your holidays

Thanks

Pierre-Henri

Sorry, I cannot vouch for other mirrors. I recommend that you manage to use svn.

Kind regards

Hello Niels,

I manage to make the svn works and I do get the same errors in compiling: "foamTime.H"
which means it still think I am using foam-extended but in Environmental variables EXTBRANCH=0 and FOAMEXTENDPROJECT=0

Hi everyone,

I'm getting a symbol lookup error when I try any of the utilities with waveFoam, i.e.:

setWaveParameters: symbol lookup error: /ichec/packages/OpenFOAM/2.4.0/intel/OpenFOAM-2.4.0/platforms/linux64IccDPOpt/lib/libwaves2Foam.so: undefined symbol: globalvariables_mp_time_

I've been using waves2Foam for months now on a cluster, I haven't changed the code at all. I've been away for 2 weeks and now that I'm back I am getting this error. I have absolutely no idea how this would have occurred... Has anyone had this happen??? I have NOT changed any of the source code since the last time I successfully ran a simulation on this cluster..

Good morning,

I am back from my holiday. I have just compiled waves2Foam on OpenFoam-4.0. I do not experience any problems.

You will need to post the errors from the compilation and the places/files, where it goes wrong. Otherwise, it is virtually impossible to help any further. Also, please acquaint yourself with these instructions: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-get-help.html

@Ariel: I guess that something has gone wrong with your installation of OceanWave3D (at least the missing symbol looks like something from the coupling between OceanWave3D and waves2Foam). I simply recommend to recompile waves2Foam.

Kind regards,

Niels

Hi Niels,

Thank you for your reply... I noticed the same thing and tried to do a clean and recompile, but still having a lot of linking issues. However, as this was working perfectly before but I am running it on a public cluster, my suspicion is that the issues are to do with some other linking or missing libraries on the cluster and not an issue with waves2Foam. I will keep trying here and hopefully get it back up and running again.
