Hello!
This is my first post on the forum and it's a pleasure to meet you all.

Currently i'm running OpenFoam 3.0.1 built with gcc 5.3 flex 2.5.35 on an Arch system (Linux 4.2.5-1ARCH x86_64). When i tried to run the $FOAM_RUN/tutorials/basic/potentialFoam/cylinder case i came across two problems. First was i was getting an error when running blockMesh due to the #codeStream code in the blockMeshDict file (could not open file dictionary.H etc... fatal error dictionary.H no such file or directory). I changed that file writing the vertices mannually to get rid of that code portion. But then when running

potentialFoam -withFunctionObjects -writePhi -writep

(as written in the Allrun script) I get pretty much the same error, i.e. Could not open files stringList.H, pointField.H, fvCFD.H, etc. Here's the output:

[tarik@arch cylinder]$ potentialFoam -withFunctionObjects -writePhi -writep

Tried using flex 2.6 which fails to build and 2.5.39 which does work but doesn't solve the problem, so i kept 2.5.35. Followed a similar error on a thread here which recommended changing $WM_PROJECT_DIR/wmake/rules/general/sourceToDep from wmkdep to wmkdepend, but unfortunately my installation doesn't have sourceToDep nor wmkdepend files. Also couldn't find it on the git page so i'm assuming their absence is not the real problem. Running as root didn't work either (it fails to open libfiniteVolume.so, but i don't think i was supposed to run as root anyway). I don't have a clue of what to try. Has anyone had some similar troubles or may have any idea i might give a try?

Greetings Tarik and welcome to the forum!

Something isn't right... either you have two conflicting versions of OpenFOAM installed, where 3.0.0 is possibly not completely installed, or you meant to write that you had installed OpenFOAM 3.0.0 and not 3.0.1.

Because according to the output you've provided from the solver, all sings point to OpenFOAM 3.0.0. The problem is that the "lnInclude" folders don't seem to be populated. I don't know how exactly you installed OpenFOAM in your machine, but I would suggest that you switch into installation mode and run the following commands:

cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR
wmakeLnIncludeAll

Then you should be able to use the "#codeStream" feature.

Best regards,
Bruno

[tarik]

That worked perfectly. Tested in 3 different cases and everything is working! Thanks!!

Edit: Forgot to mention I also checked my openfoam version. It is indeed ver 3.0.0. But my package manager says 3.0.0-2 which I kind of read wrong.

[cfd@kgp]

I am trying to create a new field "mag(U)" using coded function and compute_ptot using swak4foam. here is extract from controlDict addded to the "hotRoom" turorial for buoyantPimpleFoam,

functions
{
compute_ptot
{
functionObjectLibs ( "libutilityFunctionObjects.so" );
type coded;
// enabled true;
redirectType ptot;
outputControl outputTime;
// outputInterval 1;
code
#{

const volVectorField& U = mesh().lookupObject<volVectorField>("U");
volScalarField mymagu
(
IOobject
(
"mymagu",
mesh().time().timeName(),
U.mesh(),
IOobject::NO_READ,
IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
),
mag(U)
);
mymagu.write();

#};
}

compute_ptot
{
type expressionField;
outputControl outputTime;
outputInterval 1;
fieldName ptot;
expression "(mag(U))";
autowrite true;
}
};

with following libraries

libs (


"libsimpleSwakFunctionObjects.so"


"libswakFunctionObjects.so"


);

In both the method I can see the output files of the variables "mymagu" and "compute_ptot", but they are not readable in paraview.

buoyantPimpleFoam -withFunctionObjects
produces following error,

Is this a bug in openfoam or I am making some mistake?

Please help

Thanks and regards.

Quick answer: I see that you reported this as a bug: https://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=2385 - and it's not a bug.
The original post here refers to potentialFoam, not buoyantPimpleFoam. This means that you don't need to use any additional option like potentialFoam did.

Dear Bruno,
I am writing to ask a question about this tutorial on codeStream.
After executing icoFoam, I received an error, the main part of which is

fatal error: fvCFD.H: No such file or directory

The whole output is in the following. I examined it under of6 and of7 unsuccessfully.
I would appreciate if you could help solving this problem.

Best Regards,
Ali

Code for codeStream:

    velocity-inlet-5
    {
        type            fixedValue;
        value           #codeStream
        {
            codeInclude
            #{
                #include "fvCFD.H"
            #};

            codeOptions
            #{
                -I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude \
                -I$(LIB_SRC)/meshTools/lnInclude
            #};

    	    //libs needed to visualize BC in paraview
    	    codeLibs
