ideasUnvToFoam / anaysToFoam Errors
 

All,
I'm trying to run the following conversion
ideasUnvToFoam 4bb_offset_20.unv and am receiving the following error:

cannot open file
file: /root/OpenFOAM/root-1.6/system/controlDict at line 0.
From function regIOobject::readStream()
in file db/regIOobject/regIOobjectRead.C at line 62.
FOAM exiting

I don't have a /root/OpenFOAM/root-1.6/system/controlDict path... is there a varaiable I'm missing?

Any suggestions are appreicated.

Hi

you need a /system/controlDict file like in the other OpenFOAM cases for the ideasUnvToFoam to work.

Create a new folder an just copy the system folder from one of the tutorial cases, put the unv in the folder you created and run the command again.

Regards

That did the trick.. Thanks
