I tried to create a new case for laplacianFoam to solve some basic assign of conduction.I did following
cd $FOAM_APP
cp -r --parents solvers/basic/laplacianFoam $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR/applications
cd $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR/applications/solvers/basic/
mv laplacianFoam mylaplacianFoam
cd mylaplacianFoam
mv laplacianFoam.C mypallacianFoam.C
sed -i s/laplacianFoam/mylaplacianFoam/g Make/files
sed -i s/FOAM_APPBIN/FOAM_USER_APPBIN/g Make/files
wclean
wmake

After performing above task I got following message in terminal
rahul@rahul-desktop:~/OpenFOAM/rahul-1.6/applications/solvers/basic/mylaplacianFoam$ wmake
make: *** No rule to make target `mylaplacianFoam.dep', needed by `Make/linuxGccDPOpt/dependencies'. Stop.
No bin folder is generated in appliacation folder
I am not getting what exactly is going on
Regards
Rahul

Greetings Rahul,

You've got a typo in the sed command:
Quote:
mv laplacianFoam.C mypallacianFoam.C
sed -i s/laplacianFoam/mylaplacianFoam/g Make/files
(edit: uhm, or maybe the typo is in the mv command...)
That's why I usually do code changes by hand, instead of using sed. And copy-paste too

The sed command is more useful for when doing massive or scripted changes. Other than that, you risk doing unwanted changes. And be extra cautious with the fact the C/C++ is case sensitive, and most Linux file systems are as well!

Best regards,
Bruno

Dear Bruno
Thankx for all ur help & concern to my queries.Now I tried to run mylaplacianFoam
path : /OpenFOAM/rahul-1.6/applications/solvers/basic/mylaplacianFoam/ ls
> conduction createFields.H Make mylaplacianFoam.C mylaplacianFoam.dep write.H
I created blockmeshDict attached herewith. I'm solving simple conduction problem for square cavity with bottom wall at temp. 373k & all other wall insulated. when i hit mylaplacianFoam
following msg appears

Hi Rahul,

Sadly, my current experience with OpenFOAM is bound to getting OpenFOAM to work, whether in Linux or Windows, as well as Paraview and some other tools that OpenFOAM needs. Modifying solvers to add new features is something that isn't in my skill set at least for now.

Nonetheless, I'll try to help you. There are two lines that your solver gave that are indicative of a bad definition of a boundary condition on the temperature file T:
Code:
keyword constTemp is undefined in dictionary  "/home/rahul/OpenFOAM/rahul-1.6/applications/solvers/basic/mylaplacianFoam/conduction/0/T::boundaryField"

file:  /home/rahul/OpenFOAM/rahul-1.6/applications/solvers/basic/mylaplacianFoam/conduction/0/T::boundaryField  from line 25 to line 37.
The text that I highlighted should indicate where you've got the problem.

Additionally, the file that you attached doesn't have the complete case, thus rendering it unlikely to be enough for testing... at least by me

Best regards,
Bruno

edit: eheheh, I took to long to reply...
