Hi all, did anybody succeed in compiling cfmesh together with openFoam 5 ? It is failing for me at the moment. The log is a bunch of class not being appropriate...

Thanks for your help !

Hi,
Yes it doesnt work at the moment because it has not been ported to OF5.

- I received this reply from CF-Mesh. I have not tried his suggestion yet, so I cannot tell you if this will work, or not.

Hello Callum,

There have been some incompatible changes in OpenFOAM. It compiles with older versions.
You can try port-v1606 branch. This branch is updated and it works with OpenFOAM-v1706 and foam-extend-4.0.

Regards,

Franjo

I really wish I'd visited here earlier! Spent the last hour and a half on this, installed an earlier version.. Why don't they state this anywhere clearly on the site...or in the README...

EDIT: forgot to say thanks!

By the way I tested this myself and it works (installing the v1606 branch of CF build into OF 5).

But yes - they could have done a better job with communication here.

Hi Calum

Following your success to this topic, can you please guide me on how to install and compile cfmesh with OF 5.

I tried doing it but was not successful. I did the following:

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/cfmesh/code cfmesh
cd cfmesh
git checkout development
export WM_NCOMPPROCS=4
./Allwmake

Would really appreciate your support

thanks
Patrick

Dear Patrick,

You didn't compile the right branch. As stated in the previous posts use the port-v1606+ branch. You can try the code below:

git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/cfmesh/code cfmesh-code -b port-v1606+

Compiling this branch worked fine with OpenFOAM v1706.

Kind regards,
Aäron

Thanks pi__sec for finally solving my cfmesh problem!

Hi Aäron,

Thanks for your response. I followed your instruction but the compilation was not successful. I have attached the log file for your reference.

For example, I have several of this complain:
could not open file foamTime.H for source file utilities/workflowControls/workflowControls.C due to No such file or directory

These were accompanied with Errors such as

/opt/openfoam5/wmake/makefiles/general:140: recipe for target '/home/hp/OpenFOAM/hp-5.0/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/bin/cartesian2DMesh' failed
make[1]: *** [/home/hp/OpenFOAM/hp-5.0/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/bin/cartesian2DMesh] Error 1

Not sure how this helps, but there is no content in the newly created folder: platforms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt

I would appreciate any further support.
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi,

@linox

1. Since wmkdep does no preprocessing (main reason why it is relatively fast), it does not resolve guard ifdefs. foamTime.H is a file from foam-extend, since you compile software under OpenFOAM 5.0, there is no such file. Yet, these warnings could be ignored.

2. Root error is here:

utilities/smoothers/geometry/meshOptimizer/tetMeshOptimisation/tetMeshOptimisation.C:501:6
6: error: no matching function for call to ‘eigenVector(Foam::symmTensor&, const double&)’
                             vector normal = eigenVector(nt, ev[2]);

And it is caused by non-exhaustive ifs in meshLibrary/Make/options (or by breaking API changes). To resolve the problem, one can either just change this piece of code

ifeq (OpenFOAM,$(findstring OpenFOAM,$(WM_PROJECT)))
    ifeq (Int,$(findstring Int,$(WM_LABEL_OPTION)))
        CFMESH_MACROS = -DNoSizeType
        LIBS =
    else
        CFMESH_MACROS =
        LIBS =
    endif
endif

to this one

ifeq (OpenFOAM,$(findstring OpenFOAM,$(WM_PROJECT)))
    ifeq (Int,$(findstring Int,$(WM_LABEL_OPTION)))
        CFMESH_MACROS = -DNoSizeType -DOpenCFDSpecific
        LIBS =
    else
        CFMESH_MACROS =
        LIBS =
    endif
endif

to meshLibrary/Make/options. Or correct ifdefs in utilities/smoothers/geometry/meshOptimizer/tetMeshOptimisation/tetMeshOptimisation.C to include OpenFOAM-specific macros to account for new API.

Hi Alexeym,

Thanks very much for the support. My cfmesh is now working upon changing the code as suggested.

Kind regards,
Patrick

Hello,
I have been unsuccessful getting cfmesh to install in openfoam 5.0. I think I am following the process outlined here in this thread. Process:

git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/cfmesh/code cfmesh-code -b port-v1606+
cd cfmesh-code/
git checkout development
export WM_NCOMPPROCS=4
( change the file 'options', as noted above)
./Allwmake > log.make 2>&1

The log file is attached.
Am I missing something?
Is there a more updated outline of how to get CFMesh working in OF5?
Thank you
