Hi Foamers,
I am new in studying openFoam and while I try to use the MembraneFoam and install it as the tutorial and found error.

Is it because I did not install any nessary softwares before or my system is too old?
Thanks in advance.

Quick answer: "MembraneFoam" seems to have been developed to use OpenFOAM 4. However, OpenFOAM 1706 has other definitions that are not compatible with the OpenFOAM 4 names...

You might want to try this branch: https://github.com/EdMBarry/MembraneFoam/tree/OF5 - to get the source code, run these commands:

Code:

git clone https://github.com/EdMBarry/MembraneFoam/ membraneFoam_v5
cd membraneFoam_v5
git checkout OF5

Hi wyldckat,

Thank you for your answer!
But when I run the installation, I found there is another error.

and I searched the file and a similar one in the membraneFoam.

and found the file is empty, the similar one in the membraneFoam is different has no file end with .so
Should I download the “lib-” or just copy the files in the similar one?

It is appreciated if there are any advices!

Maybe at this point you had solved your problem, maybe not
I downloaded the Mathias Gruber version, neither worked for Windows nor .com versions, but 3.0.x and 4.x
There are 2 versions, the -master and the new, -master only works on <4.x and had no errors for me on 3.0.x
The new version had 2 errors on 4.x, one was about a file from previous versions that didn't exist anymore and I just erased the mention
The second error was more complicated about a value "static" that wasn't defined like that, I just really searched about similar errors, tried to compile and it worked, I'm pretty new on coding and the test gave me "logical" data on the simulation, so I think it's fine
Good luck
