Compiling cfMesh with OpenFOAM 4.x

If you're looking for the source code of cfMesh (the non-Pro version), it's still available here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/cfmesh/ - according to their tweets, they updated it recently for OpenFOAM 4.0, it's on the "development" branch.

Following up on Bruno's suggestion that cfMesh has been updated to work with OpenFOAM-4.x, I installed the development release.

Code:

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/cfmesh/code cfmesh

and tried to build it against my installation of OpenFOAM-4.x. I'm using the Intel-2017.0.098 compiler on a Fedora-24 system.

Here's the compile time error.

Code:

[ Moderator note: moved these three 3 posts from thread that the quote refers to, as well as added the quote for continuity sake and added code markers to the output. This thread is now ready for discussion on how to compile cfMesh with OpenFOAM 4.x ]

Quick answer: You need to checkout the "development" branch. Complete list of commands:

Code:

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/cfmesh/code cfmesh

cd cfmesh

git checkout development

export WM_NCOMPPROCS=4

time ./Allwmake > log.make 2>&1

I confirmed that the 'development' branch does indeed build and run under 4.x. I also confirmed essentially zero-diff output for one of my geometries compared with cfMesh-1.1.1 built against OF-3.0+.

Thanks again Bruno.

Just a quick note: They have released cfMesh 1.2.1 recently: https://twitter.com/CFieldsHR/status/785774036206755840

#cfMesh now adapted to the latest version of OpenFOAM 4.0 and foam-extend-4.0

Download link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/cfmesh/files/v1.1.2/

Hello I've successfully compiled cfMesh-v1.1.2 with OpenFOAM-4.1 and it works very well.

However when I try to mesh something with a smaller cell size I get this error

Code:

Create time



Setting root cube size and refinement parameters

Root box (-16.4988893 -17.6854167 -15.189) (16.2691107 15.0825833 17.579)

#5  Foam::meshOctreeCube::findLeaves(Foam::LongList<Foam::meshOctreeCube*, 19>&) const at ??:?

I thought I had too many cells so I tried to compile cfMesh against OpenFOAM-4.1 with WM_LABEL_SIZE=64

Unfortunately I get this compilation error

Code:

Do you know how to fix this?

OpenFOAM-dev not compiling due to metaDict_

*Edit* I have gone further along in the compilation. The original problem was metaDict_
Here is the list of steps I encountered and what I did to combat them:
1. metaDict_ not declared. Added "IOdictionary.H to polyMeshGen.H
2. The annoying tautology warning can be removed by changing ms.type_ != ms.type_ to ms.type != type_ in meshSubsetI.H
3. edgeMesh has been incorporated into meshTools in OF5 and dev. I did an in-place replacement of -ledgeMesh with nothing
4. Pstream::blocking and Pstream::scheduled have been replaced by Pstream::commsTypes::blocking and Pstream::commsTypes::scheduled - I replaced these
5. My foam compilation was done with WM_LABEL_SIZE=64. This seems to kill the compilation as it can't recognise a list in these circumstances (see Giampalo's error)
6. Set the WM_LABEL_SIZE to 32, meshLibrary compiles, but errors occur straight away once we try and build the executables. I saw the approach proposed by laurent in thread 160757 but that has since changed.

I am thinking of going back to LABEL_SIZE of 64 and trying to sort out the problem there.
I now have heaps more problems after this. First errors start at first program in the rank: cartesian2DMesh. See error message attached.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Compilation of cfMesh works

Following your proposed steps 1,3 and 4 cfMesh compiles now with OF-dev.

Openfoam v1706 will compile with:

git checkout port-v1606+

Please, can you give more details how to perform following instructions?...I'm not so skilled at linux compilation.

I was able to partially compile the library, by fixing point 1 adding to:

../meshLibrary/lnInclude/polyMeshGen.H

Code:

#include "polyMeshGenCells.H"

#include "dictionary.H"

#include "IOdictionary.H"

and using the following command:

Code:

find ./ -exec sed -i -e 's/Pstream::blocking/Pstream::commsTypes::blocking/' {} \;

Code:

find ./ -exec sed -i -e 's/Pstream::scheduled/Pstream::commsTypes::scheduled/' {} \;

now I'm stuck with the following:

Code:

I downloaded the latest version in git today and now the source compiles without any modifications from the source.

Are you using ubuntu and opebfoam-dev?

Hi,

I can't understand, but I'm not able to run the compilation on LinuxMint 18.2.
I used

Code:

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/cfmesh/code cfmesh-code

but It seems that same version has been downloaded as for same errors occurs.

After fixing point 1,3,4, and ./Allwmake, I got this

Code:

wmakeLnInclude: linking include files to ./lnInclude

and that's the error

You need to get the development branch, see post #2

Code:

Thank you very much,

As the post from Bruno is 1-year old, I thought it was "old"
