Quick answer: Sorry, I did try fixing this today, but I didn't manage to figure out what exactly changed in OpenFOAM 3.0 that affected the building process for the "tecio" library I was switching between several tasks and I ended up not being able to focus on this one.

I have this on my to-do list and I'll try to fix this sometime this week or on the next weekend.
In the meantime, perhaps you should try using Tecplot's built-in loader? If you have a fairly recent version of Tecplot, you should be able to use the internal reader without the need for foamToTecplot360.

Dear Bruno Santos
I want to install foamtotecplot360 into openFoam30
and i complete read your forums,but there are just for openfoam version 1.6 until 2.3
how can you help me?

I've finally managed to find the time and figured out how to fix the issue. The instructions on how to build foamToTecplot360 with OpenFOAM 3.0 is now available here: https://github.com/wyldckat/localFoamToTecplot360

Sorry, but:

1. I didn't understand your question.
2. You should ask about that in another discussion thread, given that it doesn't seem related to foamToTecplot360.

Dear Bruno Santos thanks for your answer,it was very helpful.now foamtotecplot360 work for me in openfoam30

I'm using a Windows installation version of OpenFOAM-3.0 and when I try to compile foamToTecplot360 I got the following error:

I saw some guys with the same error but in other versions of OpenFOAM. I already downloaded the tecio library to /opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-v3.0+/tecio, but somehow it isn't finding the library.

Any help on this?

Quick answer @abgail: I wrote the following in 2 posts above:

Please try it with OpenfOAM 3.0+.

[abgail]

Hi, Bruno! Thanks for the quick answer. Actually, I have already tried following the instructions from the posts above, but I didn't work.

The error was in this step of the installation process:

Making dependency list for source file vtkMesh.C
could not open file fvMeshSubset.H for source file vtkMesh.C due to No such file
or directory
could not open file C__BASE.h for source file tecplotWriter.C due to No such fil
e or directory
could not open file fvMeshSubset.H for source file foamToTecplot360.C due to No
such file or directory
could not open file C__BASE.h for source file foamToTecplot360.C due to No such
file or directory

vtkMesh.H:39:26: fatal error: fvMeshSubset.H: No such file or directory
#include "fvMeshSubset.H"

Do you have any idea of how I can fix it?

[wyldckat]

Hi Abgail,

Mmmm.... don't they have instructions somewhere on how to be able to build user-made custom code?... Here we go: http://www.openfoam.com/download/txt...adme_v3.0+.txt

And I quote:

1) This OpenFOAM installation environment provides you with both a working and
   a development platform. 
   To compile modified source code, please do as follows;
   i) Login as "root" (su root) with password "0fuser2015
   ii)  Go to /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v3.0+
   iii) Run ./Allwmake (it will create the full dependency list and object files)
   iv)  Go to the folder with modified source code, and compile the changed files.

The step "iii" is very likely what's missing in your installation.

Best regards,
Bruno

[abgail]

Bruno,

I've followed all the steps to compile modified source code, but I've got the same error.

Maybe there's something wrong with the foamToTecplot360 compilation. This is what I got when I tried to run ./Allwmake of foamToTecplot360

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltecio
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [/opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v3.0+/platforms/linux64Gcc48DPInt32Opt/bin/foa
mToTecplot360] Error 1

Thanks a lot for the help!

Best regards,
Abgail

[wyldckat]

Hi Abgail,

I did the following steps, using the Docker image on Ubuntu: http://www.openfoam.com/download/install-binary.php

1. After going into the container, I ran these commands:
   

   su -
   yum install wget unzip git
   foam
   wmakeLnIncludeAll
   exit

   Meaning:
   1. The "su -" command was for switching to root mode, where I simply used the same password as the one I have in my own machine.
   2. installed the packages that were missing.
   3. Went into the OpenFOAM+ source code and made sure all headers were in place.
   4. Exited root mode.
2. Then I did the steps for getting the source code for the local installation:
   

   mkdir -p $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR
   cd $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR
   wget "https://github.com/wyldckat/localFoamToTecplot360/archive/of30.tar.gz"
   tar -xf of30.tar.gz
   cd localFoamToTecplot360-of30

3. Then fixed the broken details:
   

   sed -i -e 's=\(meshTools/lnInclude\)=\1 -I$(LIB_SRC)/dynamicMesh/lnInclude=' foamToTecplot360/Make/options
   sed -i -e 's=\(\-lmeshTools\)=\1 -ldynamicMesh=' foamToTecplot360/Make/options

4. And finally, ran Allwmake:
   

   ./Allwmake

5. Ran it a second time and I get the summary, something like this:
   

   + wmake libso tecio/tecsrc/
   '/home/ofuser/OpenFOAM/ofuser-v3.0+/platforms/linux64Gcc48DPInt32Opt/lib/libtecio.so' is up to date.
   + wmake foamToTecplot360
   make: `/home/ofuser/OpenFOAM/ofuser-v3.0+/platforms/linux64Gcc48DPInt32Opt/bin/foamToTecplot360' is up to date.

Hopefully the same will work on Windows.


Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

Hello foamers,

Does anyone else have problems in compiling and activating foamToTecplot360 in OF v4.0 (linux)? The older "localfoamToTecplot360" doesn't seem to work anymore. Any ideas?

Regards

I haven't been able to compile foamToTecplot360 in OF v4.0 yet, so if anyone has succeeded in this, I would love to hear the proposed solution.

Regards,

[wyldckat]

Quick answer @manalis: I've updated the repository https://github.com/wyldckat/localFoamToTecplot360/ and added a new branch "of4". It works with OpenFOAM 4.0 and 4.x.

In a few minutes, I'll also have the branch ofdev for the OpenFOAM-dev repository and respective Deb packs.


edit: @Abgail: Sorry, but I didn't manage to find the time to try and reproduce the same error that you had I hope you managed to solve it in the meantime.

Thank you very much for your help and the updated versions of foamToTecplot360 files. I am curious to see why the older versions didn't work since the "make" files seem to be unchanged at a first glance!

Thanks again.

Hey Bruno,

You have done an amazing job! It still works for OpenFOAM 5.0. I really appreciate it.

Hi,


I have OpenFOAM-2.3.1 as well as OpenFOAM-dev. I try to install foamToTecplot360 which is not successful yet with the following error:

Although, there are still other erros. Whenever I try to go to the working directory of OpenFOAM-2.3.1 I am just directed to OpenFOAM-dev working directory, instead. I am in doubt that this is the problem causing the errors.

The first error is probably due to the changes in the "enum class fileType", try using the lower case:

fileName::directory

for the second error you should consider using a non-const reference due to the changes in the recent OpenFOAM version:

      Field<Type>& fld = tfld.ref();

Can you tell us how do you source different OpenFOAM versions?
What I guess is that you are not using aliases in your .bashrc file...

Dear Daniel,


I just forgot to do the"git checkout of23" in step 3 and now it is installed. Thanks for your comment, anyway.
