Hi friends
I recently compiled waveFoam and want to run wave flume tutorial,but I received the following and it doesn't work properly

would be pleasure if anybody help me to find out,
thank u

Hallo,

You are executing 'interFoam', but that does not know, how to use the wave generation capabilities.

Furthermore, note that OF2.3.1 is not supported, so you have to create the solver 'waveFoam' yourself. I have long decided to only support main version numbers of OF/foam-extend, thus versions with changes on the third digit does not fall under this subset of versions.

Kind regards,

Niels

Hi Niels,
Thank you for responding and help me. I used interFom as application since when I used waveFom, I received "command not found" massage despite compiling waveFoam according to openFoam wiki.
So you mean I should install OF 2.3.0 to execute waveFoam?
Thank you in advance for help me,

Kind Regards,

Moh
