Hello all!

I am now using Waves2foam as part of my research project on breakwaters. I have encountered some problems with the overtopping function, which I have implemented using the notes on the manual and one of the answers in this forum. The OpenFOAM version I am using is 2.3.0.

Attached I send a screenshot of the error message I get in the first iteration for waveFoam. At the bottom, where it says "in file /home/yl1181/OpenFOAM/... ": that directory does not exist. When I run the same case in different computers I also get non-existent directories under the following format: /home/foam/OpenFOAM/... .

Here I attach a sample basic case consisting of a flume with a slope and a box inside. It would be great if you could have a look at it and give me some advice on the case and what could be causing the error. The case runs perfectly without the overtopping function.

Additionally, I would like to have some information on how to apply porosity in waves2foam. My next stage would be to remove the box and replace it with the breakwater structure and to include porosity. However, I am a beginner with code in general and OpenFOAM and waves2foam in particular; I get quite lost without sample dictionaries or tutorials.

Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you!!!
