Hey,



i want to create a bigger application around OpenFoam, considering that the meshing is done with a Python api, i want to include the ./Allrun script into my Python files.
First instict was to import os in python and insert the commands from the ./Allrun script. However i am only met with following error messages:

./Allrun: line 5: /bin/tools/RunFunctions: No such file or directory
--> FOAM FATAL ERROR :
    Could not find mandatory etc entry (mode=ugo)
    'controlDict'

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR :
    Could not find mandatory etc entry (mode=ugo)
    'controlDict'

This is the Python code:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import os
os.system("./Allrun")

and my ./allrun script:

#!/bin/bash
cd ${0%/*} || exit 1    # Run from this directory

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

gmshToFoam constant/pipeHex.msh
createPatch -overwrite

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I suppose the problem is related to paths, but i don't have any idea how to resolve this.


Any help is appreciated!

It really had to do with paths, or rahter the right source.
If somebody is trying to do the same:

import subprocess
subprocess.call("./Allrun",shell=True)

i changed to the subprocess package and in the allrun script the bashrc must be referenced:

#!/bin/bash
source /opt/openfoam9/etc/bashrc

This does the trick
