Hi,,,

I am trying to install OpenFOAM-1.6-ext in Ubuntu 14.04 from the steps mentioned in openfoamwiki.net. I am facing a problem that icoFoam -help commend is not working.

Here, I am attaching the log.make.gz file.

Kindly, anyone look into the problem and give suggestions.



Any suggestions?

Why do you want to use such an old version? Are you getting an error when you run

icoFoam -help

on command line? If yes then what kind of error is it?

[samar]

Hi...

Thank you for replying, Khedar.

I am using this version because I want to use icoDyMFoam to solve a problem, but this solver is not present in higher versions of OpenFOAM.

I am using dynamicInkJetFvMesh to move the mesh of a geometry.

The error I am encountering while running icoFoam -help in the command window is

Usage: icoFoam [-parallel] [-case dir] [-help] [-doc] [-srcDoc]

Give me any suggestion, please.

[khedar]

This is not an error. When you run the command

icoFoam

with an argument

-help

it displays information about the solver or which arguments the solver takes.

Please read do some basic tutorials on running OpenFoam case. You can find them by searching on Google.

Thank you, Khedar...

I have modified codes in the file dynamicInkJetFvMesh by coping it to another file and trying to compile the same by using wmake libso command.

But, all the time one error is appearing. The error is,

make: *** No rule to make target dynamicFvMesh/dynamicFvMesh.dep', 
needed by `Make/linux64Gcc48DPOpt/dependencies'.  Stop.

Can you give me some suggestions to resolve this issue??? Please...

Thank you...

Any suggestions please, Foamers.....

I am tryng to compile a library using the code wmake libso... But all the time one error is appearing. The error is,

make: *** No rule to make target `Make/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/libMyPolynomVelocityPointPatchVectorField.C.dep', needed by `Make/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/libMyPolynomVelocityPointPatchVectorField.o'. Stop.


Kindly anyone look into the matter and give some suggestions..

Quick answer @samar: The first problem is that the version of OpenFOAM that you have installed is 1.6-ext and not 1.6.x, which is a variant of OpenFOAM now known as foam-extend. I've modified the thread title and the first post accordingly.

According to the attached log file in the first post, the installation of OpenFOAM-1.6-ext was done without problems.

As for the more recent error messages, you will need to provide more details on how you have reached this situation. Specifically, we need to know each exact step that you have taken, or at least indicate which instructions you are following when trying to create your own library.

Thank you wyldckat.

I am trying to compile the code modifying angularOscillatingVelocityPointPatchVectorField.C file.

When I am trying to compile by using wmake libso command in command prompt, an error of dependencies is occurring.

I have attached the modified code files, please look into the matter...




Thank you......

Quick answer: The problem is that you copied the source code for that class from the wrong OpenFOAM version.
You must use the class from OpenFOAM 1.6-ext as a basis for your new class, not from 1.6.x, in order for this to work.

The source code in OpenFOAM 1.6-ext for this class is indicated by the following command:

echo $FOAM_SRC/dynamicMesh/meshMotion/fvMotionSolver/pointPatchFields/derived/angularOscillatingVelocity/

Furthermore, you should look into the file "Make/options" from the folder "fvMotionSolver" indicated on the path given for the command above.
