Modifying solidThermo in chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam

BjörnP · September 15, 2015, 10:18

Hello everyone,

I am trying to use the detailed and good description of "Building an OpenFoam Library" - http://www.sourceflux.de/blog/buildi...nfoam-library/. In detail, I tried to manipulate the solidThermo library which is used inside the chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam solver. I have made a copy of the whole library and renamed every "solidThermo" entry to "modSolidThermo", not more. I followed the the description and the compiling worked for the modified library and solver. But when I try to use the modified solver for the planeWall2D case, I am getting the following error message:

Code:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
modSolidThermo is not in enumeration: 
4
(
directionalSolidThermo
fluidThermo
lookup
solidThermo
)

Can anybody tell me how to solve this problem?

Attached is my modified solver, library and test case.

I am using OpenFoam 2.3.1

Thank you

I have found the source of this error Message. It is the boundary condition turbulentTemperatureModCoupledBaffleMixed which needs to be modified, too.

Quick answer: If the library is built independently from the solver, then you need to add the library to the "libs" entry in "controlDict", e.g.:

Code:

libs ("myLib.so");
