Hi wyldckat:
Thank you very much. I download a snapshot (.tgz) of the source code from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/open...am-extend-3.1/
then unpack.
I git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-extend/foam-extend-3.1, then the foam-exted-3.1 can be compiled successfully! I don't why?
but the new problem come, when i run the tutorial, blockMesh, the error show: command not found. When i install the OpenFOAM2.4.0, the paraview has been installed. the paraview need reinstall? what can i do next? Thank you very much!!

Hello Mr. Bruno,

My system is unable to find the icoLagrangianFoam command. I have attached the log.make.gz file with this post. Can you please help? Thank you

Hi, Viraj

I think the problem is that the icoLagrangianFoam is not included in this version.

Hi Lida,

I am trying to install the latest version foam-extend-3.1 (https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...om_source_code). And I am quite sure that icoLagrangianFoam is there in this version. Can you please help?

[KangX1]

Hi, Viraj

I've checked the source of the foam-extend-31. It seems that the source code of icoLagrangianFoam is not in there.
So, my advice is that you may find the source of the icoLagrangianFoam in other version of foam and compile it manually. The tutorial of compiling a new solver is as follows: http://cfd.direct/openfoam/user-guid...-applications/

Hi Lida,

So as you said I would have to compile in order to use icoLagrangianFoam solver. In foam extend 3.1, the solver is already coded(please see attached). I just need to give the 'wmake' command after entering the case directory, am I right?

Hi, Viraj

You are right, just use the 'wmake' command.

Quick answer @viraj20feb: Please run the following commands:

cd ~/foam/foam-extend-3.1
find src applications -name "*.L" -type f | xargs sed -i -e 's=\(YY\_FLEX\_SUBMINOR\_VERSION\)=YY_FLEX_MINOR_VERSION < 6 \&\& \1='
./Allwmake > log.make 2>&1

Sorry, I had made a mistake in the version number for the first command. I've updated my previous post, in case you still need foam-extend 3.1.
