how to compile the coupledMatrix librairies ?
 

Hi!

I would like to use conjugateHeatTransfer in OpenFOAM 1.6. For this purpose I picked up the "applications/conjugate" and "src/coupledMatrix" folder from the OpenFOAM-1.5-dev to my own user folder.

First I need to compile the coupledMatrix librairies. I try just the wmake command, but it doesn't work.

If anyone have a solution, it would be a great help for me.

Libraries are compiled by typing wmake libso <name of library>

Hi Cyp,

I'm not sure if its possible to use coupledMatrix in 1.6. Just compiling it won't work, because the OpenFOAM library in 1.5-dev is different to that of 1.6. I think the easiest way to use coupledMatrix would be to install OpenFOAM-1.5-dev completely.

Regards,
Stefan

conjugateHeatFoam with OpenFOAM 1.7.1
 

Hi All,

I'm trying to get the conjugateHeatFoam(1.6-ext) solver by Hrvoje Jasak up and running in OpenFOAM version 1.7.1.

I followed the instructions of Eric Paterson's Getting started with OpenFOAM. So as he advised I made the folder hierarchy for user developed code.
$WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR
|-- applications
|-- lib
|-- run
‘-- src

I dl the desired solver and library combo with svn into the appropriate directories:
Compiling the coupledMatrix library:
The error message after that:
After searching for solutions on the net, I've found out that many people have encountered this problem but no one has came up with a real solution. It would be nice to know how to setup this solver since the whole structure of OpenFOAM was designed in mind of extensibility.

Unfortunately I'm not a linux/OpenFOAM expert by any means.

Thanks!

I would say stick with 1.6-ext if you want to use the coupledMatrix, there are too many issues bringing these types of extended functionality into the non ext/dev versions. AFAIK, there isn't any reason to want to use 1.7.x over 1.6-ext anyway.

Thx for your reply, I will use the extended version then.

Hi Tibor

Im doing the same for openfoam 2.1x
I have solved a part of the problem at the moment.
first of all you need to add blockLduMatrix to your src/openfoam/matrices/ folder

secondly u need to add the some folders to src/openfoam/matrices/ldumatrixes/lduAddressing/lduInterfaceFields/ *check the same directory in openfoam 1.6ext)

third you need to add some files also to src/openfoam/matrices/ldumatrixes/lduAddressing/lduInterface/

forth u need to modify the lduInterfaceFieldPtrsList.H according to openfoam1.6 ext

if u recompile your openfoam and the compile coupledmatrix library the errors will disappear but u wil have still errors.

u need again modify the ldumatrix.H and ldumatrixATmul.C the if compile the library

u will just have this error

at the moment i don't know how to solve this. if u have already solve it , please share ur experince

Dear All

I have compiled it successfully for openfoam 2.1x.

Dear Mahdi

Hi

I know it is an old thread, you reported that you were successful in importing coupledMatrix class from foam-ext! Can you share your experience how you did it?

Thanks
Bahram
