I installed pyfoam following the wiki manual, and passed the testing code stated there. Then I gave a try to the basic functionality of pyfoam by copying cavity tutorial folder to the desktop, and in the terminal, i use
" Code:
pyFoamRunner --clear icoFoam -case cavity Code:
"--> FOAM FATAL ERROR: Cannot find file "points" in directory "constant/polyMesh" From function Time::findInstance(const fileName&, const word&, const IOobject::readOption) in file db/Time/findInstance.C at line 148. FOAM exiting without the pyFoam, I can successfully run the case in a normal way. Is that because my setting is not correct? or pyFoam is not compatible with 1.6? or because my openFoam is 64bit version, and i need to state the version explcitly? |

At first, you must create a mesh. You can't start a solver without a mesh
Type "blockMesh" in the cavity-case. The Tool "BlockMesh" will create a Mesh from the "blockMeshDict". regards Jens |

Thank you, Jens.
Oh, I got it. Because there is no finely-made tutorial for pyFoam, i just try it myself. Now I understand pyFoam seperate openFoam functions as applicaitons and utilities, I used to consider pyFoamRunner as a automatic script to do all things for users. |
