interDyMFoam: "Only call if constructed with history capability"
 

Hello Foamers!

Proberly someone has already face that problem:

I generated a mesh with snappyHexMesh with hexaedra only. However, when I want to let interDyMRun this error occurs. What is that suppose to mean, what can I do to fixed it?

Cheers

Hi,

I used to have the same problem. After the snappyHexMesh was created, I tried to use interDymFoam and got:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Only call if constructed with history capability

From function hexRef8::getSplitPoints()
in file polyTopoChange/polyTopoChange/hexRef8.C at line .......

So, I realise that deleting the "refinementHistory" file, it works! At least for me.

I hope it helps...

Dear all,
I am having exactly the same problem.
I am working with buoyantBoussinesqPimpleFoam with Dynamic Meshing.
I have added a few lines to the Solver and the solver seem to compile properly.

But when I run my test case. I have the following error. SnappyHexMesh works fine.

Dear Martin,

thanks for your very valuable hint!
Tiny side remark: the file is located at the directory
and may be zipped (refinementHistory.gz) if compression was turned on during snappyHexMesh. (That's why it took some time until I found it...)

Regards,
Peter
