Hi everybody ,

I set openfoam extended to try HronTurek's tutorial with the solver icoFsiElasticNonLinULSolidFoam. Also, i used Openfoam4.1 and no problem to use icoFoam or pisoFoam solver, it works very well !

My problem is about openfoam extended : i have sourced the bashrc and did allwmake.firstinstall, it looks works but when I do ./Allrun in HronTurek tutorial, it makes empty log file in solid and fluid repository and in this log file it is written "./Allrun: 55: ./Allrun: icoFsiElasticNonLinULSolidFoam: not found" for log.icoFsiElasticNonLinULSolidFoam. All others log.file are empty.

If i source with the bashrc of Openfoam4.1, log.file in openfoamextended are well computed except the log.icoFsiElasticNonLinULSolidFoam because i think the bashrc doesn't active the icoFsiElasticNonLinULSolidFoam solver.

I work on a virtual toolbox. Openfoam4.1 are set in /opt/... (i often have to use "sudo command") and i set openfoam extended 4.0 in my home directory .... I don't know what is the problem. I work on that for 2 days yet whithout solving this problem

I would be very grateful if somebody could help me !!!

Quick answers:

1. Regarding "openfoam extended", the technical name is "foam-extend"
2. Start a new terminal and run this command:
   

   export | grep FOAM

   Does it give any output lines? Because if it does, then it's because it's automatically loading the OpenFOAM 4.1 environment.
3. To keep versions of OpenFOAM/foam-extend from interfering with each other, follow the instructions given here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...nFOAM_versions
4. The solver icoFsiElasticNonLinULSolidFoam is built by default when building foam-extend 4.0. It's possible that something went wrong while building foam-extend, which would explain which this solver is not available.
   • If this was the case, then after you've corrected your "~/.bashrc" as I indicated in the bullet point #3 above, try following these steps:
     1. Then start a new terminal window and activate only the environment for foam-extend 4.0, by running:
        

        fe40

        This is meant to be the alias defined in accordance to the instructions given above in #3.
     2. Then run the following commands:
        

        foam
        ./Allwmake > log.make 2>&1

     3. Finally, when it's complete, use the following command to zip the file "log.make":
        

        gzip < log.make > log.make.gz

     4. Then attach the file "log.make.gz" to your next post. This will tell us all of the build errors that are happening.

Hi Wyldckat,

1) I attached the log.file "log.make.gz"

2 ) I activate the environment for foam-extend 4.0, by running fe40 as you said. Now, All the log.file are compiled with the letter C. It is running as when i use the source of openfoam4.1. Only log.file log.changeDictionary is not running. As you can see just below, i put "paraFoam" and i have this error:

VirtualBox:~/foam/foam-extend-4.0/tutorials/solidMechanics/icoFsiElasticNonLinULSolidFoam/HronTurekFsi/fluid$ paraFoam

I have replaced the variable "empty" by zeroGradient also for fluid/0/p and fluid/0/u and paraFoam works but there are juste the piece and no fsi simulation during the period.

I check with incompressible tutorials and it works well as with source openfoam4.1. But why do I have this error message ?

Many Thanks for your previous answer and you future answer I hope !

Greetings Nexfast,

I am a bit concerned that you didn't describe what each step that I listed had given you, so I hope you've done all of the steps correctly.


foam-extend 4.0 did not finish building properly because it ran out of disk space, as detailed in a few error messages that were listed in "log.make":

patchIntegrate.C:172:1: fatal error: error writing to /tmp/ccmpExt8.s: No space left on device

There were also "*.dep" files that were incomplete, leading to several other error messages.

The application "changeDictionary" isn't even listed in the "log.make" file, therefore that would explain why it didn't run.


From what I can figure out, your machine ran out of disk space on two locations:

• "/tmp"
• "/home/$USERNAME/foam/foam-extend-4.0/applications/"

You can check the available disk space on each one by running:

df -h /tmp
df -h /home/$USERNAME/foam/foam-extend-4.0/applications/

You can clear some disk space by deleting the intermediate files and folders that are placed inside the folder "ThirdParty/rpmBuild/BUILD" within "foam-extend-4.0".


Once you've cleared up some disk space, I believe you can fix some of the broken parts by running the following commands:

foam
grep "\.dep" log.make  | sed -e 's=\([a-zA-Z]*\.dep\).*=\1=' -e "s=.*'==" | sort -u | xargs -I {} find $FOAM_APP -name {} | xargs rm

The second command will look for the "*.dep" files that were indicated in "log.make" and delete them.

Then try building again:

./Allwmake > log.make2 2>&1
gzip < log.make2 > log.make2.gz

Then attach the new log file "log.make2.gz", so that we can check if there are any other applications that failed to build.



As for the tutorial case, it can't work properly without changeDictionary being properly built.

Best regards,
Bruno

Good night, wyldckat!

Sorry for reviving this thread but I really need some help and I think you can easily help me. I'm a beginner at openfoam, spent two months learning the basics of the software (openfoam6) and I'm happy with my learning process.
The thing is, I'll have to use Immersed Boundary Method for my final project so I had to downloand another version, foam extend 4.0. At the time I have both installed on my computer, of6 installed on /opt and fe40 installed on home. Everything works perfectly on of6 but nothing works on foamextend4. When I try to run the cavity tutorial, for example, after typing icoFoam, it gets me back:


--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
Unknown asymmetric matrix solver BiCGStab

Valid asymmetric matrix solvers are :

4
(
GAMG
PBiCG

in file matrices/lduMatrix/lduMatrix/lduMatrixSolver.C at line 101.

FOAM exiting



Also tried to run some of the ImmersedBoundary tutorials but no success also.


Sorry for the basic question, I really hope you can help me someway.
Thanks in advance! =)

Quick answer: It seems to be because OpenFOAM 6 is still being used and not foam-extend 4.0. See the following section on how to keep OpenFOAM/foam-extend versions apart on each terminal: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...nFOAM_versions
