Cloning a case from the command line

February 1, 2005, 10:26

Dear all,

A stupid question, how it is possible to clone a case without using the Gui interface?
I tryed to simply copy all the directory in another directory tree.
I run blockMesh again and it worked.
Then I run turbfoam on the new directory and it didn't work.

Should I change something in each dictionary in the directory tree??

No, copying should just work. What does turbFoam print?
