Dear Foamers,
I have installed swak4Foam from the main SVN repository, using the svn command:
svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/openfoamextend/svn/trunk/Breeder_2.0/libraries/swak4Foam/ swak4Foam and I ./Allwmake it.
Every function works fine, but when I use groovyBC function it will show an error:

FOAM FATAL ERROR: 
Unknown function type groovyBC

Valid functions are :

CourantNo

I have used
libs (
"libgroovyBC.so"
);
in controlDict. I have no idea where the problem is.

Thanks for your help

Greetings hoseinhd,

Please run the following commands inside the folder what you have the swak4Foam source code:

./Allwmake > log.make 2>&1
gzip < log.make > log.make.gz

Then please attach the file "log.make.gz" to your next post. This log file will tell us if everything was built properly or not.

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,
Thanks for your sincere help.
I have just solved my problem. The error was because I added groovyBC in functions of controlDict. An amateur mistake
I implemented groovyBC type in 0/U file and my case is running OK now.

Thanks

Dear Bruno
I need to calculate average nusselt number over a cylinder in a cross flow, so I find a code and add it to the end of controlDict. The code is:

NusseltNumber
{

type patchExpression;

ignore_unimplemented_simpleFunctionObject::movePoi nts true;
outputControlMode timeStep;
outputInterval 1;
patches
(
cylinder
);
verbose true;
variables
(
"T_inf=300;"
"D=1;"
);
expression "D*snGrad(T)/(T-T_inf)";
accumulations
(
average
);
log true;
}

It works fine with OpenFOAM 2.2 but now when I installed OpenFOAM 5 and I want to use it again I get these errors :

--> FOAM Warning :
From function bool Foam::functionObjectList::read()
in file db/functionObjects/functionObjectList/functionObjectList.C at line 675
Caught FatalError
--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Unknown function type patchExpression

Valid functions are :

8
(
forceCoeffs
forces
patchProbes
probes
psiReactionThermoMoleFractions
rhoReactionThermoMoleFractions
sets
surfaces
)

and

-> FOAM Warning :
From function bool Foam::functionObjectList::read()
in file db/functionObjects/functionObjectList/functionObjectList.C at line 675
Caught FatalError
--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Unknown function type expressionField

Valid functions are :

I tried to used "swakExpression" instead of " patchExpression" but it doesn't work.

So I guess maybe my swak4FOAM installation have problem so I do what you said here

And I attached the log file here, Can you please take a look at Log file? I dont understand that there is a problem there or not?

Hi,


I have the same issue. Could you find any solution?

Quick answer: The log file from bouzari2012 indicates that specific swak4Foam version was not fully compiled properly because it was not compatible with OpenFOAM 5
