Hello everyone,

I am trying to use solids4Foam to solve a 2-phase, FSI problem and am using the flexibleDamBreak tutorial as a starting case. I will eventually need a full 3D solve and will need to be able to solve in parallel; however, I am having difficulties getting solids4Foam to run in parallel with the flexibleDamBreak tutorial. I modified the Allrun file to run in parallel by decomposing the mesh which works fine

#!/bin/bash

# Source tutorial run functions
. $WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin/tools/RunFunctions

# Source solids4Foam scripts
source solids4FoamScripts.sh

# Check case version is correct
solids4Foam::convertCaseFormat .

# Create meshes
solids4Foam::runApplication -s solid blockMesh -region solid
solids4Foam::runApplication -s fluid blockMesh -region fluid

solids4Foam::runApplication -a renumberMesh -region fluid -overwrite
solids4Foam::runApplication -a renumberMesh -region solid -overwrite

# Set water volume fraction field (alpha) in the fluid
cp 0/fluid/alpha1.org 0/fluid/alpha1
(cd 0/fluid && ln -s alpha1 alpha.water)
solids4Foam::runApplication setFields -region fluid

# Run Solver Parallel
solids4Foam::runApplication -a decomposePar -region fluid
solids4Foam::runApplication -a decomposePar -region solid
solids4Foam::runParallel solids4Foam

# Run solver Serial
#solids4Foam::runApplication solids4Foam

touch foam.foam

but when I run the solids4Foam solver in parallel, my simulation crashes before the first time step is run. I attached the solids4Foam solver log file. Any advice / suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I am using OpenFOAM v-2012 and solids4Foam v2

Thanks,
Brandon

Have you solved this problem? I am being faced with the same issues LOL. Many thanks!

Yes it seems to be an issue with using OpenFOAM-v2012. When I switch to OpenFOAM v9 (foundation .org version), I am able to get the parallel solver working with the flexibleDamBreak tutorial

Hi, Thanks for your reply!
I also tried to install with OpenFOAM v9, but faced with following issues:


FOAM/z54cheng-9/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/lib -lblockCoupledSolids4FoamTools -lRBFMeshMotionSolver -lfiniteVolume -ldynamicFvMesh -ldynamicMesh -lmeshTools -ltopoChangerFvMesh -o /home/z54cheng/OpenFOAM/z54cheng-9/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/lib/libsolids4FoamModels.so

The S4F_USE_GFORTRAN variable is not set: skipping abaqusUMATs
To use abaqusUMATs, install gfortran and set the S4F_USE_GFORTRAN
variable to 1

Do you have suggestions on this?

I think that it might be that you need to install gfortran-7 for it to be compatible. However, what you are displaying looks like an issue with a part of the install; when the install finishes, can you still run the case files even with that error in building?

Thanks!
It is because I used the solids4foam-V1, v2 works well on Openfoam9!
