Hi, I have a OpenFOAM based benchmark that I have been asked to run. I have never before used OpenFOAM and I need some help because I'm lost.

I have been given a tar-file with "the job" containing the directories 0, contant and system). There are also an example script:

$ cat run8CPUsSequential
# Run the program
simpleFoam . . > log1_8CPUsSequential_1 &
simpleFoam . . > log1_8CPUsSequential_2 &
simpleFoam . . > log1_8CPUsSequential_3 &
simpleFoam . . > log1_8CPUsSequential_4 &
simpleFoam . . > log1_8CPUsSequential_5 &
simpleFoam . . > log1_8CPUsSequential_6 &
simpleFoam . . > log1_8CPUsSequential_7 &
simpleFoam . . > log1_8CPUsSequential_8 &

wait

I have installed OpenFOAM on a Ubuntu system following the Ubuntu installation guide at openfoam.org.

When i run "simpleFoam . ." I got a error.
After I read the help page ("simpleFoam -help") i re-run the command without parameters and ended up with this output.

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
cannot find file

file: /root/OpenFOAM/root-2.1.0/run/bench/constant/RASProperties at line 0.

    From function regIOobject::readStream()
    in file db/regIOobject/regIOobjectRead.C at line 73.

I cant find a RASProperties a file in constant. Is that a required file? I wonder because I think it's strange if they missed to supply me with that file.

For the time being I borrowed a RASProperties from one of the examples, I picked one RASModel out of random and re-run the application and ended up with this output:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
keyword div((nuEff*dev(T(grad(U))))) is undefined in dictionary "/root/OpenFOAM/root-2.1.0/run/bench/system/fvSchemes::divSchemes"

file: /root/OpenFOAM/root-2.1.0/run/bench/system/fvSchemes::divSchemes from line 39 to line 46.

    From function dictionary::lookupEntry(const word&, bool, bool) const
    in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 400.

I have tried to read the documentation but as expected it's written for a person who intend to write a job and run a simulation. I'm a (mostly) a sysadmin who have been asked to run a OpenFOAM-based benchmark and I'm somewhat lost

Anyone out there who can point me at the right direction?

Edit:
Using: OpenFOAM-2.1.0 (see www.OpenFOAM.org)
