Hi there,

I'm having sort of a weird problem using the surfaceElevation function type..

First of all, I have been using this successfully for months and have not changed my set-up. The problem is, I am running waveFoam on a cluster and when I try to use function objects, I get the error

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR: 
Unknown function type surfaceElevation

Valid functions are : 

4
(
patchProbes
probes
sets
surfaces
)



    From function functionObject::New(const word& name, const Time&, const dictionary&)
    in file db/functionObjects/functionObject/functionObject.C at line 92.

FOAM exiting

I'm baffled because all of the other waveFoam functions seem to be working well and when I compiled it, all appeared to go smoothly.

Note: I am running waveGuagesNProbes first and this does work on my own system.

Anyone have this problem before?
I am using OF 2.4.0.


Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I've been using interfoam for months now and I just tried to run a code with it and I got this error:

interFoam: symbol lookup error: /home/ariel/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.4.0/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib/libincompressibleRASModels.so: undefined symbol: _ZTIN4Foam14incompressible8RASModelE

Where is this coming from?? I was working through a tutorial to create my own kEpsilon RAS model... could this have messed this up? I don't know how I managed to do that though because I didn't go into the lib folder at all and definitely not for interFoam.. I have no idea where to start looking for the problem and dont' want to mess anything else up!

Huge huge thank you in advance for any advice on this stupid error

Hi there, I've done something very frustrating with the interFoam solver, or possibly the incompressibleRASModel library.. I'm getting this error when I try to use interFoam:

interFoam: symbol lookup error:  /home/ariel/OpenFOAM/ariel-2.4.0/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/lib/libincompressibleRASModels.so:  undefined symbol: _ZTIN4Foam14incompressible8RASModelE

I tried making my own turbulence model and realised that I accidentally saved it with the same name in the same library as the current incompressibleRASModel. I fixed this in the Make/files code (new line: LIB = $(FOAM_USER_LIBBIN)/libmyIncompressibleRASModels) and then did

wmake libso

And all compiled correctly. Following that, I went back into the original turbulenceModels/incompressible/RAS directory and did:

wclean RAS
wmake libso RAS

Which seemed to go ok, and then finally I tried to recompile interFoam with Allwmake, which appears to go ok as well. I'm getting so frustrated, I can't see where the error is coming from after these steps!! Can anyone help me please??

Were you able to fix this problem?
I did something and now am unable to fix it.

Were you able to solve this? I face the similar problem.

Hello,
I am also facing this same error when I try to run my program on the cluster.
Did you happen to find a solution?
Thanks,

Dear Pablo,

I am trying to simulate wave breaking in a monopile using OlaFlow. I am using the library libforces.so provided by OpenFoam but a have a lot of difference in the magnitude of Force. All the other things (mesh / boundary conditions is the same ). Below is the function that I am using in the controlDict file. Also the diameter of the monopile is D=0.7 m / H=1.3 / T = 4.0s / d=3.8 m. What is going wrong ?

forceCylinder
{
type forces ;
libs ("libforces.so");
enabled true;
patches ("cylinder");
pName p;
UName U;
rho rhoInf;
rhoInf 1;
CofR (0 0 0);
log true;
writeControl timeStep;
writeInterval 1;
}

Thanks you very much for your time,

Kind regards

Renos
