Hi, I am trying to use Allrun bash script to run openFoam job. Below is the complete script

#!/bin/sh
echo start running Allrun
cd ${0%/*} || exit 1    # Run from this directory

# Source tutorial run functions
. $WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin/tools/RunFunctions

# Set application name
application=`getApplication`

# meshing
runApplication blockMesh 
runApplication topoSet -dict system/topoSetDict/topoSetDict_noCarInt

runApplication subsetMesh -overwrite noCarIntCS
runApplication topoSet -dict system/topoSetDict/topoSetDict_updateCSCZ

# refineMesh
runApplication refineMesh -overwrite 
runApplication topoSet -dict system/topoSetDict/topoSetDict_updateCSCZ2

# setFields
runApplication setFields

echo end
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to excute series of topoSet based on different dict, so i use topoSet -dict. But it only execute the 1st topoSet job based on the 1st dict i listed.

runApplication topoSet -dict system/topoSetDict/topoSetDict_noCarInt
runApplication topoSet -dict system/topoSetDict/topoSetDict_updateCSCZ
runApplication topoSet -dict system/topoSetDict/topoSetDict_updateCSCZ2

Another problem is i tried setSet before. It seems stucked on setSet and cant jump to the next job. Since the log showing > without quit, so i tried to insert quit command in terminal and it can continue to next job. Is there anyway to insert quit in my script so that i dont have to type it manually?
I tried "> quit" and change runApplication into foamJob, but it is still cnt be solved

I would be grateful and thanks to all advice and suggestions
Thanks for your time in reading this.

I don't know about the setSet issue, but the problem with runApplication occurs because once runApplication runs topoSet for the first time, it saves the log file in log.topoSet. Then, when it tries to run topoSet again, it detects that it has already been run (because log.topoSet exist), and skips the command.

If you wanna run topoSet in several instances you should do:

runApplication -s 1 topoSet ...
runApplication -s 2 topoSet ...
runApplication -s 3 topoSet ...

I know the thread is old but it may be useful for someone else..
