Hello,


I intend to run an OpenFOAM case through shell script. The example that I chose was lid driven cavity. Here's what I have done -



1. Open the terminal - cd case_directory_name


2. Create a shell script (shown below)


#!/bin/bash
blockMesh > log.blockmesh
icoFoam > log.icofoam
probeLocations -latestTime > log.probes




3. The shell script was saved in the case directory


4. In the same terminal, sudo sh file_name.sh


Here's the error I get -

blockMesh: not found
icoFoam: not found
probeLocations: not found




How should I proceed? Thank you for any suggestions you can provide.

You maybe need to source your OpenFOAM environment in the terminal or in the script?

Hello,



I tried the following based on your suggestion -



1. In CAE terminal, cd open_OpenFOAM_case_directory


2. sudo bash my_bash_script.sh



bash script had the following commands -
#!/bin/bash
source ~/openfoam6/etc/bashrc
blockMesh > log.blockmesh
icoFoam > log.icofoam


This worked!



Thanks you!
