Parallel installation of OF1.6ext and OF220

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to install both OF 1.6ext and OF2.2.0 so I can run both.
I have successfully installed OF 2.2.0 and it works fine. However, It's making problems when I try to install OF 1.6ext.
I have followed the installation instructions and it works until I try to run ./Allwmake. As I see it, the installation folder is set to //opt/openFoam220 which wrong.
The problem is that I'm relatively new to linux and I don't quite now whats going on here.

The error:

Error: Current directory is not $WM_PROJECT_DIR
The environment variable are not consistent with the installation.
Check the OpenFOAM entries in your dot-files and source them.

When I run: echo $WM_PROJECT_DIR
He says: /opt/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext
and sometimes he says /opt/openFoam220

I tried to change the path in etc/bashrc, but no effect. What exactly am I doing when I change that path?

Thank you for help, sorry if topic exists, didn't find it.
P.S. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04

Hi,
I am having problems installing the 1.6 ext alongside OF 2.2.0. When I try to source the bashrc file ( located in home/user/OpenFOAM/OpenFoam 1.6-ext/etc/) i get the following error:
bash: /opt/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/bin/foamEtcFile: No such file or directory
bash: /opt/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/bin/foamCleanPath: No such file or directory
bash: /opt/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/bin/foamCleanPath: No such file or directory
bash: /opt/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/bin/foamCleanPath: No such file or directory
bash: /opt/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/settings.sh: No such file or directory
bash: /opt/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/aliases.sh: No such file or directory
bash: /opt/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/bin/foamCleanPath: No such file or directory
bash: /opt/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/bin/foamCleanPath: No such file or directory
bash: /opt/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/bin/foamCleanPath: No such file or directory
which is true cause just OF2.2.0 is in opt whereas 1.6ext is in home folder.
When I run: echo $WM_PROJECT_DIR
He says: /opt/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext (which does not exist)!
I read trough tens of post but could get around it. I might have understood that I have to add : alias of16ext='. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/bashrc'
somewhere but I dont know exactly where (linux newbie :( ) :confused::confused:
Any suggestions? Thanks!!

yeah! it says to edit the bashrc file. Does it mean the one in openfoam220/etc or the one in OpenFoam 1.6 ext/etc ?
Thanks for the reply and the welcome message :D

I think you're reading things waaaay too fast ;)
With OpenFOAM, you need to have a very close attention to all details, or you'll end up trying to simulate a car larger than the planet Earth ;)

Quote:

Edit "~/.bashrc", remove or comment any lines you've got there and add lines like these:

Code:

alias of220='. /opt/openfoam220/etc/bashrc'

alias of16ext='. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/bashrc'

The file "~/.bashrc" is the same as "$HOME/.bashrc", which you can see the location for it by running:

Code:

echo $HOME/.bashrc

I'll add this description to my blog post.

ahaha true :D i tried that option earlier and it says that is in home/user/ but I can't see such file and if I run the command ~.bashrc it says permission denied. How do I open this file? :(

August 22, 2013 07:59

It all depends on the Linux Distribution you are using, namely on how to edit the file.

The idea is that once you have the full path to the file (given by the echo command), you should use a text editor to open that file, by giving the full path to it.

I was going to give a description on how to see the files in question, but since you said you are new to Linux, I suggest that you read this tutorial: http://linuxcommand.org/learning_the_shell.php
In case you didn't notice, this is one of the first suggestions I make on the blog post.

Happy reading!

I used that tutorial to learn the basic last week, I now tried gedit ~/.bashrc and a text editor opened which is full of text and the last lines now are
#source /opt/openfoam220/etc/bashrc
#source /home/andc0sk/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/bashrc

alias of220='. /opt/openfoam220/etc/bashrc'
alias of16ext='. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/bashrc'

I did leave the rest of the text unchanged. Even after this if I try of16ext I still get the same error!:confused: :(

edit:
restarted my laptop and tried again, this is what i got this time :

Details, you need to have a lot of attention to the details! ;)
I'll quote from my blog post:

Quote:

This way, the game play has changed: now whenever you start a new terminal/console window or tab, the OpenFOAM environment is not available by default.

You didn't need to restart the laptop completely, all you need to do was to start a new terminal window! :) But hey, restarting was a sure way be certain that it was all in place.

As for the output you got: yes, that's normal for 1.6-ext to provide so much information by default. You can go forward with the building process.
By the way, you can also find building instructions for 1.6-ext here: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...enFOAM-1.6-ext

c0sk	August 23, 2013 06:42

Thank you so much!!! Finally managed to get it working!:D

c0sk	August 27, 2013 13:08

Got another problem :( In the tutorials/incompressible/icoDyMFoam/movingBlockRBF/ I tried to run the ./Allrun command but it just does not execute and goes back to the empty command line. Can it be related to something that went wrong with the installation procedure?:confused:

Edit: I do believe the problem is due to the fact that when I try ./Allrun, the wmake command which should compile the RBFMotionSolver is trying to source the files in the opt/openfoam220 directory. This is happening because I uncommented source /opt/openfoam220/etc/bashrc by removing the # (which I wrote last week) in the -bashrc file, otherwishe, I was not be able to run any OpenFoam tutorials. How can I correct this and get both things working?

I thought you had everything under control... OK:

Please post the last lines of your "~/.bashrc" file, as long as they do not contain any sensitive information. Perhaps there is one or two lines that are present and shouldn't be.
When you start a new terminal window or tab, do you run only of220 or of16ext once at the beginning of each terminal?

Best regards,
Bruno

c0sk	August 28, 2013 06:32

Ok my bashrc file last lines are:

Code:

 #source /opt/openfoam220/etc/bashrc

#source /home/andc0sk/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/bashrc

#source /home/andc0sk/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/bashrc

#source /home/andc0sk/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/bashrc

#source /home/andc0sk/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/bashrc

alias of220='. /opt/openfoam220/etc/bashrc'

alias of16ext='. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/etc/bashrc'

I did run of16ext before the current session and tried ./Allrun again, same problem, when I go in RBFMotionsolver in tutorials/incpmpressible/icoDyMFoam/movingBlockRBF and try wmake i get the following:

Hi c0sk,

Although you ran Allrun, something is broken in the function "compileLibrary" that Allrun is using, because of this output:

          -lOpenFOAM -liberty -ldl   -lm -o OpenFOAM.out

The last file name "OpenFOAM.out" means that you're trying to build a library as an application.

Check the contents of the file "OpenFOAM-1.6-ext/bin/tools/RunFunctions" and check if the function has this code:

Code:

compileLibrary ()

{

    echo "Compiling $1 application"

    wmake libso $1

}

In addition, the foolproof way of making sure that the library builds properly is to change the following line in the Allrun script:

Code:

compileLibrary RBFMotionFunction

To this:

Code:

wmake libso RBFMotionFunction

edit: I forgot to mention that even though regular forum members cannot delete posts, they can edit their own posts! So you didn't need to double-post ;)

Bruno

Erhm, the Allrun file in the directory is completely empty :confused: This might be why it just doesn't do anything.
On the other hand, I checked the RunFunctions file and the code is there :rolleyes:

You can always copy "Allrun" from the original folder at "$FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/icoDyMFoam/movingBlockRBF", or from online: http://sourceforge.net/p/openfoam-ex...ovingBlockRBF/

SORTED! I suppose, copied the code into the script, run of16ext in a new terminal and then run ./Allrun in the directory. Did not any error message this time and I did not have to change any line in the Allrun script.

Thanks again!!
Little OT: My project consists in simulating the wing of an hummingbird, therefore applying that movement via the RBF motion function. What would you recommend as a starting point? Any guide/tutorial which can help me in doing this? I am currently going through Frank Bos Thesis which is a good start. How do you create the geometry (a simple ellipse) in a CAD software ( I mean just the ellipse, or the ellipse in a "box")?
Thanks ;)
