I'm new to OpenFOAM and am running through the tutorials. I am currently trying to step through the Allrun script of the DTCHull tutorial by running each command outside of the script. When I get to a loop Allrun I made a snippet out of it that looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6
do
runApplication -s "$i" \
topoSet -dict system/topoSetDict.${i}

runApplication -s "$i" \
refineMesh -dict system/refineMeshDict -overwrite
done

It gives the error runApplication: command not found.

Can anyone help? I've looked everywhere for how or where where runApplication is defined but can't find it anywhere. I used to know unix but I haven't worked in that environment for 20 years.

Thanks in advance.

PS: I'm running under WSL on Windows 10.

Hello,

If you look at the beginning of the Allrun script, you will see something like this:

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

This line loads RunFunctions, and runApplication is one of those functions.

If you want to use RunFunctions in your script, you will need to use this line to load it.

Cheers,
Yann
