Well i have not use this one but it should be pretty same . Better copy your tutorial in /mtn/c/users/lenzo assuming your user name is lenzo and then run it . You can browse this location directly from windows browser as well

[lenzo]

Dear pgh,

are you sure it works in that way? I think that the most probably way to connect the virtual machine and my computer should be through a special program. But still i can't figure out which one is.

Anyone has any other suggestion?

Do following from your container's bash shell
cd workingDir
cp -ar $FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity/cavity .
It will copy the cavity tutorial inside c\user\francis . assuming francis is your
user name

Edit - nevermind - I figured it out.

Thanks - this worked for me. Stupid question - after I modify the files and save them back on my c drive, how do I copy them back into the workingDir? Thanks!

The working directory is

c:\OpenFoam\16.10\<username>\run from windows

/cygdrive/c/OpenFoam/16.10/<username>/run form the shell

I have the same Problem with the Tutorial files.

cd workingDir
cp -ar $FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity/cavity .
cd cavity
blockMesh
icoFoam

When i try this command only the first one works. When i try the second one it displays this message:

cp: missing destination file operand after '/opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v1806/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity/cavity'
Try 'cp --help' for more information.
[ofuser@default workingDir]$

I hope you guys can help me.

Kind Regards, Klaas

Quick answer: If it states:

cp: missing destination file operand after ...

it means that you missed the final dot in the command that you indicated:

cp -ar $FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity/cavity . 

It's cavity space dot at the end of the command
