[OpenFOAM.org] OpenFOAM solver which worked perfectly fine are not working now

meth · April 19, 2017, 22:33

Hi,

I am using OpenFOAM-2.3.1 for my simulations.

I was building a new solver in for a couple of days. Accidentally, I run the Allwmake command in the /opt/openfoma231/ while compiling my new solver. Now, I completed compiling my solver. However, now no solver is working. For an example, if I run icoFoam command it says; icoFoam: command not found. I have no idea how to fix it.

Can you please help me?

Thank you.

Try to recompile openfoam by going into its root directory and run

Code:

./Allwclean
./Allwmake

after sourcing etc/bashrc

In the worst case you have to reinstall openfoam. More information about the version 2.3.1 can be found here:
https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Installation/Linux
https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...M-2.3.1/Ubuntu

It might depend on how you installed it originally.

Best, Pascal

Hi Pascal,

Actually, I removed OpenFOAM completely from my system and reinstalled it again. Now it's working.

Thank you for your reply.

Best,
