Is it correct to use "SessionManager" while originally MS Windows 7 registers contains "Session Manager" (with space)?

Dear Foamers,

I tried to install the OpenFOAM package 15.06 provided by CFD Support on my Win 7 Computer that I updated to Win 10 recently. Using Win 7 and Win 10 I had problems with some commands mentioned in this thread (e.g. "paraFoam", "paraview" didn't work [see Ananthakrishnan]). I figured out in my case the problem was my windows account name. It consisted of two words (First and last name) leadind to automatically created folder-/filenames in OpenFOAM containing a blank. Since OpenFOAM doesn't like blanks I tried the following:

1) Uninstall openFOAM and all related programs
(I also removed the C++ 2010 Redistributable Packages and Microsoft MPI --> solves the newer version problem of saucisse volante)

2) Change your windows account name so it doesn't contain a space (I even created a completely new "CFD-account")

3) Reinstall the OpenFOAM Package with all components

Since then everything works well. Hope that helps someone.

Best regards from Heidelberg, Germany

Will there be an update with the new OpenFoam 3.0 code to this package from cfdsupport.com?

I am using the cfd support openFoam from the windows command prompt (ie not from cygwin). Everything works fine, but for parallel processing. I tried quite a few setup for MS-MPI but it looks like there is some conflict with another MPI installation as I am getting these kinds of errors:

Aborting: mpi appplication on POSEIDON is unable to connect to the smpd manager on (null):60026 error 1722

Aborting: mpi appplication on POSEIDON is unable to connect to the smpd manager on (null):60025 error 1722

Any idea?

The new package includes fully functional and natively compiled OpenFOAM-3.0.x.
