wingMotion2D Tutorial Questions
Hi all
I'm fairly new to OF I'm working with Open Foam 1.7.0 in CAE Linux 2010 I am trying to understand the subject of Dynamic Meshing in open Foam, I have been looking at the tutorial wingmotion in pimpleDyMFoam. Although I would like to check to see if the correct things happened when I executed it. I executed by moving to the directory, Code:
cd $FOAM_RUN/tutorials/incompressible/pimpleDyMFoam/wingMotion Code:
./Allrun Code:
Running blockMesh on run/tutorials/incompressible/pimpleDyMFoam/wingMotion/wingMotion_snappyHexMesh however the wingMotion2D_pimpleDyMFoam only contained 2 time data folders. Then when I checked the results in paraFoam, the _simpleFoam results showed no evidence of mesh change. The pimpleDyMFoam results caused parafoam to exit with the following message Code:
--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: Regards Dandalf |
Having inspected the case file closely, I have noticed that it is set up to run on three processors in parallel, however I am working with a Dual core processor
I believe this may be the root of my problem, Although I don't know too much about parallel processing, it looks like I can fix this by changing the Allrun file to read Code:
runParallel pimpleDyMFoam 2 to read Code:
numberOfSubdomains 2; I am going to try it again and see what happens |
Ok I got it to work... It tuns out I simply ran out of hard drive space the first time.
I have a few questions regarding the case. In the dynamicMeshDict the diffusivity variable presumably determines how geometry distortions are diffused throughout the grid. It is currently set to inverseDistance with regards to a single geometric object. Is it possible to set it to inverseDistance with regards to multiple geometric objects? Secondly in the pointDisplacment file, the case uses the sixDoFRigidBodyDisplacment, are there any notes available on this boundaryField type, and is it possible to create a hinged joint between two geometric objects using it? I would appreciate any help people can give me. Dandalf |
