Running FoamX independently by 2 users

rogn · November 6, 2006, 07:19

Hello

I have a problem with FoamX. We are 4 different users running OpenFOAM on a cluster headnode with different logon names. We are not able to run FoamX independently. A single user can open FoamX on the headnode, but as soon as another user attempts to open FoamX a mico exception occurs:

uncaught MICO exception: IDL:omg.org/CORBA/INITIALIZE:1.0 (0, not-completed)

~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.3/bin/runFoamXHB: line 127: 23214 Aborted (core dumped) nsd -ORBIIOPAddr $myIOP --ior $FOAMX_CONFIG/ns.ref </dev/null

Can anyone help me to make a workaround, or explain to me, how to set up FoamX, so the different users can work independently in FoamX.

Thank you in advance

Check what your FOAMX_CONFIG is set to. Probably all point to the same central installation so the ns.ref file (which gets written there) gets corrupted.

Just copy the .OpenFOAM-1.3 directory to everyone's home directory. FoamX will detect this and use it instead as its config directory.

Hello Mattijs

We all use separate installations of OpenFOAM. (Actually my colleague is running OpenFOAM-1.2, while I'm on the 1.3 version), so our $FOAMX_CONFIG is not pointing toward the same place (I checked it just to be sure!!).

Best regards

Change the port number in $FOAMX_CONFIG/FoamXClient.cfg so they don't conflict?
