Hello All,

I would like to adapt simpleFoam solver and add temperature/ heat flux capabilities to a case.

I tried to use the step by step process found on wiki but it doesn't quite work out for me because the $FOAM_USER_APPBIN directory does not exist. Could this have been a problem in my installation? How could I fix it?

robyn@linux-4ifd:~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6/applications/solvers/incompressible> cd $FOAM_USER_APPBIN
bash: cd: /home/robyn/OpenFOAM/robyn-1.6/applications/bin/linuxGccDPOpt: No such file or directory

Any thoughts on adapting/creating your own solvers? How can you do that?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Robyn

Robyn,

You just need to create this directory structure, and after that follow the procedures on the wikki.

cd $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR
mkdir applications
mkdir applications/bin
mkdir applications/bin/linuxGccDPOpt

Good luck
Ricardo

Thank you for the response however I'm not sure that the unpacking of OpenFoam was correct as I only have the run directory under my user.

Should the directories you named also contain similar files as OpenFOAM-1.6?

You can check if your installation is ok by issuing the following command:
foamInstallationTest


At least, the "Critical" items must be tagged as "Valid".
Here is a sample output. I am using 1.7.x, but the output in your case should be similar.
Executing /home/l01291/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.x/bin/foamInstallationTest:
