Simulation of air flow around a PV module: nothing appears

BlakeV · March 25, 2018, 19:27

I am very new of openFOAM. Recently, I ran a simulation of air flow around a PV module. I replace the tutorial motorBike model by mine, yet there is nothing shown after running the simulation process. I checked my scale of my model and it's the same as the original motorBile model. Right now I am stuck and really have no idea where my problem is.

Could you include a link to the original model that you started from and a screenshot of the results that you are getting? Are you running a steady state or a transient simulation?

I attached my result figure below.
The link is my module obj file.

The attached file is geometry. Where do you specify the boundary conditions?
