hi all,

I'm using openfoam designer version 1.0 windows based.

While using dam break tutorial we need to execute Allclean and Allrun files, how to execute these files in windows Openfoam?

thanks in advance.

Hi there,

I have the same question.
In Linux you just have to type in ./Allrun
But this doesn't work with the wondows version.

Greetings tH3f0rC3,

You've got at least 4 options:

1. Install MSys and try to figure out how to set-up the OpenFOAM environment on it.
2. Install Cygwin... and try to figure how to set-up the OpenFOAM environment on it.
3. If both fail, try going back to MSys and instead of starting an MSys terminal, try to use only "sh.exe" from it to run the "Allrun" script.
   

   sh.exe Allrun

4. Open the "Allrun" script with a compatible text editor (Notepad2 for example, some instructions provided here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post274751 post #18) and then read the commands listed in the "Allrun" script, translate them and manually execute the commands that do work on the Windows Command Line (WCL).
   For example, the "runApplication" command is a shell script that will not work in WCL.

Disclaimer: I'm the guy who develops blueCFD and in blueCFD we've already got a working solution of running OpenFOAM in Windows using MSys. But blueCFD is a paid service, so I can't disclosure the actual solution

Best regards,
Bruno

Edit: I had forgotten I had written some hints about this about a year ago here: Setting up shop in Windows. I only noticed this after reading another post by tH3f0rC3 here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post334236
