How to generate a new 6DoF.dat?

julmh · November 19, 2012, 11:48

Hi.
I am a student working with a sloshing case in interDyMFoam. I have changed values in the file gen6DoF.C and now I want to generate a new 6DoF.dat file. Does anyone know how to do this?

Regards Julie

Greetings Julie,

Very simple - all of the following commands assume that you are working in a terminal that has OpenFOAM ready to be used and that you are already located in your own copy of the original tutorial case "multiphase/interDyMFoam/ras/sloshingTank3D6DoF":

Build the custom utility by running:
Code:
```
wmake gen6DoF
```
Or if you are already working from within the "gen6DoF" folder, simply run:
Code:
```
wmake
```
Then go into the "constant" folder and run the utility, like this:
Code:
```
cd constant
gen6DoF
```
This of course assumes that your were working from the folder "sloshingTank3D6DoF".
You can now go back the the case folder and run Allrun:
Code:
```
cd ..
./Allrun
```

And that's it!

Best regards,
Bruno
