Getting Started
I just installed openfoam how it's written in the manual.
Now i have a problem to continue with the "getting started" part. Quote:
and to write mkdir -p $FOAM_RUN in the terminal leads to nothing. :( plz help |
Greetings Guardian and welcome to the forum!
Try running the following two commands: Code:
echo $HOME The first one should show your own user folder in the "/home" folder; For example "/home/guardian". The second one should show something like "/home/guardian/OpenFOAM/guardian-1.7.1/run". If it doesn't, it's because OpenFOAM isn't properly installed. If it does show something, try running this: Code:
cd $FOAM_RUN Code:
mkdir: missing operand Code:
export Code:
env --help Bruno |
It wouldn't be a problem at all to create these directories with the file manager.
I just thought that i have to create them by using the mkdir command. so i was just confused that it didn't work. Now i copied the tutorials into the run directory and started it with the commands: cd $FOAM_RUN/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity blockMesh icoFoam paraFoam ...then paraview opened. but where the hell is openfoam? :eek: |
Hi Guardian,
ParaView is used for post-processing: http://www.openfoam.com/docs/user/ca...#x5-130002.1.4 OpenFOAM did it's magic when you ran: Code:

Hi Guardian,
Nope, sadly FoamX is no longer supported nor developed AFAIK. For more information, you can read about it here. Best regards, Bruno |
