run openfoam with bash script
 

hi everybody,

i wrote a short Fluent3DMeshtoFoam bash script.


#!/bin/sh

/sw/ansys/ansys12.1/v121/fluent/bin/fluent 3ddp -g < fluent_ascii

fluent3DMeshToFoam recalculation_re=200k_done_ascii.cas

createPatch

rm -r /home/stswi1/HiWi/OpenFOAM/8k5/constant/polyMesh

cp -a /home/stswi1/HiWi/OpenFOAM/8k5/70.02/polyMesh* /home/stswi1/HiWi/OpenFOAM/8k5/constant/

rm -r /home/stswi1/HiWi/OpenFOAM/8k5/70.02

/sw/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.x/applications/bin/linux64GccDPOpt/rhoSimpleFoam

it works when i run openfoam (option openfoam-17.x) and then run the bash script.

without running openfoam at first the following fault appears.

/sw/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.x/applications/bin/linux64GccDPOpt/rhoSimpleFoam: symbol lookup error: /sw/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.7.x/applications/bin/linux64GccDPOpt/rhoSimpleFoam: undefined symbol: _ZN4Foam13fvsPatchFieldINS_6VectorIdEEE28disallowD efaultFvsPatchFieldE

is it something with the environment variables?
could anybody help me?

thanks in advance. Simon

Greetings Simon and welcome to the forum!

I'll have to be quick to answer:

1. I can only assume that the "openfoam" command you're talking about is a command specifically designed for loading OpenFOAM's shell variables.
2. For more on this topic, read: Advanced tips for working with the OpenFOAM shell environment

Best regards,

hi bruno,

thanks for your quick response.
yes the "openfoam" command i am talking about is a command for loading OpenFOAM's shell variables.
