Hallo,

im quite new to the CFD stuff so pleas be a little patient =)

I installed OpenFoam 2.2.2 on a Mac OS 10.9 (mavericks) according to this blog entry:
LINK

the tutorials are working fine but i need to compile a solver (which i did not write on my own but im quite sure that it should work on of222) which does not work perfectly.

the option file in the make dir of the solver looks like this:

EXE_INC = \
    -I$(LIB_SRC)/turbulenceModels/incompressible/turbulenceModel \
    -I$(LIB_SRC)/transportModels \
    -I$(LIB_SRC)/transportModels/incompressible/singlePhaseTransportModel \
    -I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude \
    -I$(LIB_SRC)/meshTools/lnInclude \
    -I$(LIB_SRC)/fvOptions/lnInclude \
    -I$(LIB_SRC)/sampling/lnInclude \
    -I$(LIB_SRC)/dynamicFvMesh/lnInclude \


EXE_LIBS = \
    -lincompressibleTransportModels \
    -lincompressibleTurbulenceModel \
    -lincompressibleRASModels \
    -lincompressibleLESModels \
    -lfiniteVolume \
    -lmeshTools \
    -lfvOptions \
    -lsampling

here are the fist few lines of the *.C file of the solver where all the include commands are:

#include "fvCFD.H"
#include "singlePhaseTransportModel.H"
#include "turbulenceModel.H"
#include "dynamicFvMesh.H"
#include "pimpleControl.H"
#include "fvIOoptionList.H"
#include <iomanip>  // ::std::resetiosflags, ::std::setprecision
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

// * * * * * * * * * * * * BEGIN myHeaders * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //
#include "volPointInterpolation.H"	//needed for const_cast (change) of pointMotionU
#include "myFunctions.H"
#include "PrimitivePatchInterpolation.H"
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * *END myHeaders * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //




int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  #include "setRootCase.H"
  #include "createTime.H"
  #include "createDynamicFvMesh.H"
  #include "initContinuityErrs.H"
  #include "createFields.H"
  #include "createFvOptions.H"
  #include "readTimeControls.H"

when in now try to compile to solver i get an error like this:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "Foam::dynamicFvMesh::New(Foam::IOobject const&)", referenced from:
      _main in pimpleSnowDriftFoam.o
  "typeinfo for Foam::dynamicFvMesh", referenced from:
      _main in pimpleSnowDriftFoam.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

somehow the dynamicFvMesh makes some trouble, but since i'm quite new to this stuff i have no idea how to fix this.

Pleas can somebody give me a hint?

Hi,

try adding these lines to EXE_LIBS in the options file:

    -ldynamicMesh \
    -ldynamicFvMesh \

as linker wasn't able to find "Foam::dynamicFvMesh::New(Foam::IOobject const&)".

[schwam]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

This adding the libs solved the problen and the solver is running perfectly now.

Thanks!!!!

In fact error has nothing to do with OS X, you'll need these linker switches on Linux as well.

[schwam]

since i'm quite new to this stuff i though maybe it will help when i tell you guys exactly what im talking about and which system im running.

but again thanks

since im allready writing:
i'va a stange error when using paraFoam:

$ paraFoam
OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.2.2/bin/paraFoam: line 267: paraview: command not found

if i run paraForm with

$ paraFoam -touch
....
$ paraview --data="**somecasename**.foam"

everything works fine and i can use paraview just like normal but its kind of annoying to get errors =)

any ideas?

[alexeym]

It's rather strange cause line 267 of paraFoam is:

paraview --data="$caseFile" "$@" 2>&1 | fgrep -v 'Inconsistency detected by ld.so'

[schwam]

that is exactly the same i have in that line:

267: paraview --data="$caseFile" "$@" 2>&1 | fgrep -v 'Inconsistency detected by ld.so'

that line also gave me the idea to try

paraFoam -touch
paraview --data="...foam"

maybe something is wrong with the keyword "$casefile" in the OpenFoam/bin/paraFoam file?

[alexeym]

Well, I've reproduced the error (initially I had symlink to /Applications/paraview.app/Contents/MacOS/paraview in $HOME/bin, so there was no problem).

If you don't mind editing certain files:

1. cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/config
2. open paraview.sh in editor
3. Change the lines between 137 and 152 to

if [ $WM_ARCH_BASE=="darwin" ]
then
    : ${PARAVIEW_APP_DIR:="/Applications/paraview.app"}; export PARAVIEW_APP_DIR
    if [ -d $PARAVIEW_APP_DIR -a ! -r $ParaView_DIR ]
    then
	paraview () {
	    $PARAVIEW_APP_DIR/Contents/MacOS/paraview "$@"
	}
	export -f paraview
	echo "Using paraview in directory $PARAVIEW_APP_DIR"
	unset ParaView_VERSION ParaView_MAJOR ParaView_DIR
	# needs to be an alias because if it is in the path the Python Shell does not work
	# alias paraview=$PARAVIEW_APP_DIR/Contents/MacOS/paraview
	export PATH=$PARAVIEW_APP_DIR/Contents/bin:$PATH
    fi
fi

Basically I've changed alias definition to function.

It seems to be working now.

[schwam]

thanks again!

now everything works perfektliy.



BIG THANKS

Well, I'm not quite sure if it really works perfectly. IIRC there could be problems with parallel execution. Just to make a decision to support the patch or not, did you prefer this link instead of this one cause you didn't want to mess with package managers or just cause it was on OpenFOAM wiki?

[schwam]

i preferred this LINK just because i find it fist on google =)
and it looks quite cleat what to do (although one have tho use brew and a patch - but still pretty straight foreword).

First i installed of 2.3.0 but somehow they change something in ddtCorr (LINK_extendet_ddtCorr in of230. since i dont wanted to change the whole code of the solver i got from a colleague, i chose to lunch of222 which also worked perfekt according to the mentioned (mine and your second) link.

HI Alex
thanks for the link, I edited paraview.sh as suggested, and now I get this:

>>paraFoam
created temporary 'cavity.foam'
/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/bin/paraFoam: 2946PARAVIEW_APP_DIR/Contents/MacOS/paraview: No such file or directory

I can open paraview manually with doble click in applications. Any clue? thanks a lot
