Quick answer: Please do the following steps:

1. Activate the foam-extend 4.0 environment (namely, "source foam-extend-4.0/etc/bashrc" the same way as you've done when installing foam-extend).
2. Run the following commands:
   
   Code:

   ---

   cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR
./AllMake.stage5 > log.swak4Foam 2>&1
gzip < log.swak4Foam > log.swak4Foam.gz

   ---

3. Attach the file "log.swak4Foam.gz" to your next post.

Thank you very much ,wyldckat

I tried those steps and many other suggestions but I still can't get swak4foam working with foam-extend-4.0 on my new computer.
I'm attaching log.swak4foam file. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Quick questions:

1. Which Linux Distribution or other Operating System are you using? And which version?
2. Which GCC version are you using? If you don't know, run:
   
   Code:

   ---

   g++ --version
gcc --version

   ---

3. Which installation instructions did you follow to install foam-extend 4.0?

Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
g++ (Ubuntu 7.4.0-1ubuntu1~18.04) 7.4.0
gcc (Ubuntu 7.4.0-1ubuntu1~18.04) 7.4.0
I followed these instructions and I ended up with foam-extend in Home folder. When I ran "source etc/bashrc" I had errors because Terminal was searching for bashrc in /opt instead of Home. I tried changing many things but I wasn't able to direct it to correct folder. So I moved foam-extend-4.0 folder to /opt. After that, installation of foam-extend went well. I tried running one simulation from tutorials and it finished successfully.
If the problem is that I manually moved foam-extend folder to /opt and then install it there, do I need to unistall foam-extend first? How do I do that?

I solved my problem. I'm not exactly sure what fixed the problem but one thing I changed is that I added alias for OpenFOAM 6 as well.
In .bashrc file I had alias fe40 only for foam-extend but for OpenFOAM 6 I had without alias. So it seems that Terminal was trying to source OF6's /etc/bashrc all the time.
So my .bashrc now contains:
#comment: you may have foam-extend in other folder. Commonly that would be
What I did next is - I opened terminal inside the folder where I had swak4Foam downloaded according to instructions here (I downloaded swak according to 2.1. hg clone...)
Then I ran next 5 commands one after another:
Lastly don't forget to put this at the top of your controlDict file for every foam-extend case where you want to use swak4Foam:

I am trying to simulate mi case using fe40 and swak4Foam and I get this error:


--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:

gradientInternalCoeffs cannot be called for a genericFvPatchField (actual type groovyBC)
on patch inlet of field U in file "/home/mapache/Documentos/aneurisma/coarse/0/U"
You are probably trying to solve for a field with a generic boundary condition.





those are my U and controlDict files


Somebody can help me please.

The libs-entry should be on the root-level of controlDict (not inside of functions)

Hello ,


(I'm running in fe40)

I did what you said and i get this:

Create time

--> FOAM Warning :

could not load libgroovyBC.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

And when I check mi log.make I got this:

This is a problem with an older compiler. Those have problems with the >> at the end of a nested template (because this might be mistaken with the input-stream-operator). Do as the compiler message suggests: go to line 144 in groovyBCFvPatchField.H and insert a space between the >
Hope that fixes it

Thank you very much.



Modifying the groovyBCFvPatchField.H line 144 and groovyBCFvPatchField.C line 223 ">>" into "> >" solves the problem.

I will make the change in the development version
