[Jelle Lagerweij]

Dear cfd friends,
I am a master student that just started his internship. I have used Ansys before and coded my own 2D FVM in python, but my temporary employer wants to use OpenFOAM. So I am learning something new. To make everything work, I created a clean ubuntu install and added Paraview, OpenFOAM and Bender to it. I also executed the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install openmpi-bin

to make sure that my install would execute multicore applications correctly.


After some single core tutorials, I encountered the depthCharge3D case. I think that I executed all basic commands correctly, in order:

blockMesh

decomposePar

mpirun -np 4 compressibleInterFoam -parallel

I also checked if my core count matches that in the decomposeParDict file,

but I still get the following error message:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:

    From function static bool Foam::UPstream::init(int&, char**&, bool)

After this, I checked my mpi install again, and

mpirun --help

seems to work. I tried to find some sugestions online, but I couldn't find a solution. Does someone here have an idea what I do wrong?

[Jelle Lagerweij]

I did notice that my problem is probably the same as Problems with running in parallel, but sadly, that thread only states that a solution is reached, not how.

[yousufaero]

Hi..
I had this problem. I removed anaconda. Then it was working. I dont know how but they are connected.

Maybe you have installed anaconda in ubuntu also for python. If that is the case. Try removing it

[Pablok]

Hi Jelle,

I had the same issue after updating Ubuntu on my computer. I found the solution to my problem at the end of the Installation wiki of openfoam.com:

https://develop.openfoam.com/Develop...am-environment

Apparently this error is documented, and the following commands solved my problem:

$ sudo dpkg --remove --force-all libopenmpi-dev
$ sudo apt install libopenmpi-dev

Sorry for the late reply, but maybe it can be helpful for someone else.

Best regards,

Pablo
