[OpenFOAM.com] OpenFOAM start file opens and closing super quick

bmckenney01 · May 14, 2017, 01:39

I have reinstalled three times and the openFOAM_Start file opens really quick and then closes about 2 seconds later and I cant really tell what is on it. The other of_env_create file install goes smoothly and tells me to close the window and that its ready. I also opened oracel VM and it seems to be running. I am on windows 10 and I do have the hardware assisted virtualization on. I am also unexperienced with this sort of stuff.
Thanks

This may be correct as it simply gives the right environment.
Do you expect a visual interface in openFoam? There isn't one. I recommend to start with some cases from the tutorial.

Hi Ben

Click on the Docker Quickstart terminal shortcut on your desktop to open the terminal. Check for any error messages. If there are no error messages, go to the next step.
Type the command, docker images in the terminal. Also type docker ps -a and post the output . docker images command will tell whether the image has been loaded correctly and docker ps -a will help in understanding whether container has been created i.e the interface with which you will work
