Dear Bruno,

let us know when the tool will be ready for the OpenFOAM v2.2.x release.

Best regards,
Stephane.

Hi Stephane,

I can only estimate that maybe I'll be able to look into this next weekend, namely over the Easter weekend, i.e. somewhere between 29th to 31st of March 2013 . I'll be über busy until then

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Stephane,

I've added the branch for OpenFOAM 2.2 in the https://github.com/wyldckat/localFoamToTecplot360 repository.

I've only tested with OpenFOAM 2.2.x, I have not yet tested with 2.2.0. And I didn't need to change anything, because the code for 2.1.x works fine with 2.2.x...

Disclaimer: Keep in mind that this repository merely makes it easier to install foamToTecplot360 on existing OpenFOAM installations. It does not add any new features to the one originally provided... well, with the exception of also building on Mac OS X

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,
When I tried to install the code after "git checkout of21 " I got:

Branch of21 set up to track remote branch of21 from origin.
Switched to a new branch 'of21'

and after "./Allwmake" I got:

+ ./getTecIO
./getTecIO: line 27: wget: command not found
no 'tecio2009.zip' to unpack

For more information about the TecIO library, visit:
   http://www.tecplot.com/Downloads/TecIOLibrary.aspx

Press Enter to continue...

+ wmake libso tecio/tecsrc/ ../../tecioMake/
wmake error: could not change to directory 'tecio/tecsrc/'

any help would be appreciated.

wget: command not found

I think it's pretty clear you have to install 'wget'. Are you familiar with installing software on Linux?

The library for Tecplot file handling isn't licensed as GPL, the one used by OpenFOAM. Therefore, OpenCFD has set things right in OpenFOAM 2.0 and has moved this library outside of OpenFOAM's code.

Unfortunately, they left only a little information around for people to figure out for themselves what to do. They wrote on the files README.html and README.org at ThirdParty-2.0.0/x where one can find the tecio library. The idea is to download the given link and unpack it into the folder ThirdParty-2.0.0/x.

Then go back to the main OpenFOAM folder and run Allwmake again and things will get themselves straight.

On the other hand, if you are using the Debian packages of OpenFOAM for Ubuntu/Debian, then things get a bit more complicated. If this is the case, I can write instructions for building the tecio library and foamToTecplot360.

Now, if you built OpenFOAM yourself and if you are feeling a bit lazy, you can use the getter script from here... or better yet, here's what you can run:

foam3rdParty
wget "http://www.openfoam.com/mantisbt/file_download.php?file_id=108&type=bug" -O getTecIO
chmod +x getTecIO
./getTecIO
foam
./Allwmake

Best regards,
Bruno

HI wyldckat
when i run the ""wget "http://www.openfoam.com/mantisbt/file_download.php?file_id=108&type=bug" -O getTecIO"" command on (opt/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.1.x) it doesn't run and it tell "getTecIO: Permission denied"
what should i do?
Regards.

Greetings Saeideh Mohamadi,

I'm going to assume that someone installed OpenFOAM for you in the "/opt" folder.
Therefore, follow the instructions provided on this page: https://github.com/wyldckat/localFoamToTecplot360

Best regards,
Bruno
