Hi

I'm trying to run RotatingFanInRoom tutorial with OpenFoam9. I'v got a strange error message and i did not find the solution, p field is not wrote but why ...

My call :
surfaceFeatures (no problem)
blockMesh (no problem)
snappyHexMesh -overwrite (no problem)
renumberMesh -overwrite (no problem)
pimpleFoam (problem ==>

Thanks a lot

Hi,

Lets start with the obvious, since you get this:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
cannot find file "/home/nico/rotatingFanInRoom/mesh/0/p"

Do you have a 0 directory in your case and does it contain a "p" file?

Your path looks a bit odd, do you run the pimpleFoam command from the "mesh" directory? (/home/nico/rotatingFanInRoom/mesh)

Regards,
Yann

Hi Yann

thanks for your help. Yes i check all the obvious criteria i think : i run pimpleFoam from the mesh directory and i have not the /0 directory, but i assume it was creating automatically by the run and this is what causes the error. Maybe my mystake is i have to create the /0 folder "manually" before running pimpleFoam ? I usually use AcuSolve solver from Hypermesh for CFD, i just begin to use OpenFoam.

Thank you again

Ok i check, all my set (P,U,K,omega,nut) in 0 directory directly copied in mesh directory and it works (i have other errors but i work on it). I thought that was done automatically with my 0.orig. Very obvious you are right, thanks again. Yann
