i am new to ubuntu and openfoam.i was trying to run a compressible simulation . when i tried to run blockMesh of rhoSimplecFoam the follwing errror was shown in terminal window


subh@subh-VirtualBox:~$ cd OpenFOAM/subh-2.2.0/run/rhoSimplecFoam
subh@subh-VirtualBox:~/OpenFOAM/subh-2.2.0/run/rhoSimplecFoam$ blockMesh

do you have controlDict File under /system ?

[subhsngh]

yes it is in system

are you running blockMesh in the case directory?
If it is squareBend, then you have to go and run blockMesh in the case directory, ie:
cd squareBend

[subhsngh]

thank you it's working....
can you please tell me what should i use to develop a simulation for studying heat properties of a porous medium in a cylndrical tank ..and yes it is compressible

i am working on a project in my college.....so i would be very happy

[-mAx-]

i would open a new thread with explicit subject in the right subforum

[subhsngh]

thank you
