Hello,
To start with, I do not have a really great understanding of Linux. I have tried to follow the instructions in the read me's and FAQs, but I am having a problem with installing the software. When I try unpacking the general tar, I get the following. >tar -xzf ../OpenFOAM-1.3.General.gtgz gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now I have downloaded the TAR a couple of times, and each time I get the same result. Any assistance would be appreciated. Regards Andrew Lindsay |

Unpack the file from the same directory. The ../OpenFOAM-1.3.General.gtgz is messing stuff for you. Put OpenFOAM-1.3.General.gtgz in the directory where you want to unpack it and then do a tar -xzf OpenFOAM-1.3.General.gtgz.
I think the minus sign is not a problem. |

Probably your file has been corrupted while downloading. Is the file size correct? Check your file:
file OpenFOAM-1.3.General.gtgz gives for me gzip compressed data, from Unix Then rename it so gunzip recognizes it mv OpenFOAM-1.3.General.gtgz OpenFOAM-1.3.General.tar.gz and run gunzip on it: gunzip OpenFOAM-1.3.General.tar.gz This should create a file without the .tar. Finally run 'tar' on it: tar xf OpenFOAM-1.3.General.tar |

Cheers for the help.
I now have the system up and running I think. Now, where do I go to get help with actually setting up and running a problem? Regards Andrew |

Hi,
You have nice tutorials at the OpenFOAM webpage: http://www.opencfd.co.uk//openfoam/doc/userse1.html and http://www.opencfd.co.uk//openfoam/doc/userse3.html I wrote also one but is not so good as the first two ... http://www.schunternet.de/~amagda/cf...M_tutorial.odt adrian |
