Hello everyone,
I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 in a Windows 10 system.
I am using OpenFOAM-v2012 and trying to use waves2Foam which does not seem to work.
I followed the instruction on the installation manual, made sure to have installed all the third party dependencies (although I am not sure in which directory they were installed). I created a ~/OpenFOAM/edoardoforte-v2012/applications/utilities/ directory where I downloaded waves2Foam. The download process went smoothly and at the end I got the message COMPILATION DONE. During the compilation process I saw some red lines stating Error or Warning such as:

Error: Type mismatch between actual argument at (1) and actual argument at (2) (REAL(4)/INTEGER(4)), or Warning: Deleted feature: ASSIGN statement at (1), or Error: More actual than formal arguments in procedure call at (1).

However, the compilation went smoothly and did not produce any log.allwMake file.

The problem is when I try to run any kind of tutorial, after correctly running blockMesh, log files are produced for every subsequent comman which states:

/opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2012/bin/tools/RunFunctions: line 254: setWaveField: command not found

Do you know what the source of error could be?
I am pretty new to CFD and when I installed openfoam I may have created confusion with the directories, however the tutorials and run that I have tried in OpenFOAM so far have always worked out.
Could the problem be that waves2foam is looking for function in the directory
/opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2012/bin/tools/RunFunctions while I installed it in the directory ~/OpenFOAM/edoardoforte-v2012/applications/utilities/waves2Foam (as suggested in the manual)?

Many thanks in advance

Hi,

I will attach the Allwmake log file here.

I also tried to download the newest version of OpenFoam 2312, and then download again the waves2foam package. But when I run a tutorial, I get the same error

Hi,

The reason is that waves2foam is developed based on older version of GCC, g++ and gfortran compared with the newer openfoam. Try the following script before install waves2foam
apt-get update && apt-get install gcc-9 g++-9 gfortran-9 -y &&\
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-9 90 && \
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-9 90 && \
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gfortran gfortran /usr/bin/gfortran-9 90 && \
update-alternatives --config gcc && \
update-alternatives --config g++ && \
update-alternatives --config gfortran

Hi all,

Just this weekend, I committed a small change to the repository (revision 2157) to support GFortran 11. I hope that this helps for everyone.

Kind regards

Niels
