how to run the propeller Tutrial

the example of propeller has the below error when i use pimpleDymFoam:

what commands should be added before run?
thanks.

Have you tried executing the "Allrun" script?

hi niels
I did that now.this appears and cursor is shown:

I looks correct to me. You can always check the log-files, which are being generated or see if data is outputted.

nothing of results are shown on the command shell.is it true?all is done at the background?what commands can i use manually?
Thanks.

Yes, everything is put into log files. If you want, you can do all the steps in the Allrun manually.

Hi Niels.
how can i implement a new propeller geometery into the pimpleDymfoam solver?
fluentMeshToFoam is ok?what can i do for boundarycondition of (*propeller)?
