Cannot configure OpenFOAM environment variable in CAE Linux 2011

Greetings Tommi and welcome to the forum!
A quick question: did you install OpenFOAM 2.0.1 from OpenFOAM's website, or are you using the installation already provided with CAELinux? Best regards, Bruno |
The OpenFOAM 2.0.1. is a default installation what came within the CAE Linux. The installation is fresh except I removed open java and installed Sun Java 8 to my Ubuntu.

Unfortunately I don't a CAELinux installation at hand, but according to this post of mine: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post376326 post #26 - it looks like that CAELinux provides OpenFOAM 2.1.0?
Try these two commands: Code:
ls -l /opt/openfoam201 |
Hi,
The OpenFOAM 2.0.1 is present but 2.1.0 is not. I have tried to install 2.1.0 but the problem was same...no environments set. Here is the result of the command ls -l /opt/openfoam201: Quote:

Hi Tommi,
CAE Linux was designed to make it easier for people to use the software provided with it. Therefore, at the very least, they provide the following capabilities for using OpenFOAM:

Hi,
I just wonder why it says that environment variable is not set when I test it. Is it somehow unusable command in Ubuntu? I tested this OpenFoam terminal with Code:
icoFoam -help Quote:

The OpenFOAM 2.0.1 installation provided in CAE Linux was done from the Deb packages that are provided at openfoam.org, which is why foamInstallationTest doesn't work.
This is because the foamInstallationTest script was created for testing the environment where OpenFOAM is built by the user and therefore doesn't work on pre-built installations. |
Dear Tommy,
CAELinux is configured with a special terminal for OpenFOAM. You will find it under Applications -> CAELinux . You have to open this terminal to have the environment correctly configured. Regards, Franco |
