anon_q · March 28, 2018, 18:54

Hello,
I have a program that needs to execute some OpenFOAM utilities. Can you please tell me how to call BlueCFD terminal from an external program and pass it some arguments (OpenFOAM commands). I tried to look at BlueCFD scripts but

I found it really hard since it call many batch scripts.

Can you help me please?

Greetings Evren Linda,

I saw the PM you sent me and I came looking for any public posts you could have made on this topic, hence me arriving to this one

We have received this question in the past and since the questions were made via email, I ended up forgetting to write a wiki page about it.

That said, I've now opened a report on blueCFD-Core's issue tracker to take care of this sometime in the future. You can find brief instructions on how you can call the applications provided with blueCFD-Core on this report: https://github.com/blueCFD/Core/issues/94

It's possibly not very clear right now, but please ask with more details if you need to, either here or on that new report.

Best regards,
Bruno
