Dear friends
I have a question regarding compiling icoStructFoam. I have openfaom 1.7 on my laptop. recently I wanted to solve an fsi problem and I found icoStructFoam on wiki. i tried to compile it but I faced some errors.
Is my version of openfoam compatible with this solver or I have to install another version?
about the compiling: I added the icoStructFoam to my_solvers directory (one of openfoam subdirectories) and I simply entered wmake in the terminal. does it suffice? or I have to make other changes in the make file?

Hi,

icoFsiFoam is part of OpenFOAM 1.5-dev
if you use a Debian/Ubuntu-based Distribution you can easily install Binary Packages
http://ppa.launchpad.net/cae-team/ppa/ubuntu/ just make your .bashrc multi OF-Version capable
if you know "alien" you can convert to RPM http://taufanlubis.wordpress.com/200...or-deb-to-rpm/

Dear Elvis
thanks for your reply. I want to assure that what I understood from your reply is correct:
You meant that if I am using ubuntu (which I am) I have to just make some changes in the /.basch file and make it capable of handling multi-version of openfoam. am I right?
Is there still need to use alien to convert any files.
Is the first link you entered for the OF 1.5-dev?

I am really thankful for your help.
best regards
Hassani

Hi,

if you want to use the binary package made by Oliver Borm you have to add your sources.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/cae-team/ppa/ubuntu/ lucid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/cae-team/ppa/ubuntu/ lucid main
and you need to add multiverse because you will need libparmetis3.1

add the following line to your ~/.bashrc

alias startOF15dev='source /usr/lib/OpenFOAM-1.5-dev/etc/bashrc'
#startOF15dev

# source the OpenFOAM aliases (src, tut, sol, ...)
source $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/aliases.sh

alias startOF16ext='source /usr/lib/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/bashrc'
#startOF16ext
# source the OpenFOAM aliases (src, tut, sol, ...)
source $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/aliases.sh

alias startOF17 .... for your 1.7OFinstallation

you can choose which Version you want to run by typing
startOF15dev ,or startOF16ext or startOF17

=> alien you do not need that to install OpenFoam, it is just a great tool

Dear Elvis
Thanks again. sorry for asking so many questions. I am not that familiar to Openfoam stuff.
I added the lines you mentioned to the /.baschrc file. Do I need to update any thing afterwards?
Another problem of mine is that I did not find much in the main>lucid>debian-installer>binary-i386 directory in the link you put in you reply. when I decompress the file packages.gz or packages.bz2, only an empty file appears. I don't really know what to do with this.

another question is that if I have to download the OF-1.5 dev apart from the link you put in your reply. I mean through "sudo apt-get install openfoam-dev-1.5".

thanks in progress

Hello,

i have checked icoFsiFoam is also part of OpenFOAM 1.6-ext
so it is just nescessary to install OpenFOAM 1.6-ext

sudo apt-get install openfoam-1.6-ext openfoam-1.6-ext-dev
should do the job. If you use ubuntu (Maverick Meerkat) i heard that people had problems with their sources.list to get the Binary Packages that were made for lucid

i do not know for sure the workaround!
Maybe editing the sources.list ( all lines with meerkat)
# deb http

sudo apt-get update

and as mentioned above sudo apt-get install ..

then edit .bashrc
alias startOF16ext='source /usr/lib/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/bashrc'
source $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/aliases.sh

in a konsole/xterm enter startOF16ext
now you should be able to work with Extent1.6

Give me some feedback if we make progress

Hi all,
I compiled icoStructFoam solver in OpenFOAM-1.7.0. I made new solver (interStructFoam) by combining both of the interFoam and solidDisplacementFaom According to the icoStructFoam Instruction, but I could not compile in OP-1.7.0.
Can anyone help me?
I Attach my solver with this message.

Best regards,
rasoul

Dear rasoul,

i tried to compile your solver, but i got a lot of errors.

Can you fix it? In alternative can i asky you icoStructFoam solver?

Thank you in advance
