Hi all

I wish to install Openfoam 4.1 so that I can run HELYX-OS on my laptop. What is the easiest way I can install it on Ubuntu 18.04? I don't believe install files are available for this.

thanks

M.

Quick answer: Please try the instructions that currently exist for Ubuntu 16.04... if they don't work for 18.04, please let me know and I'll try to do a quick build to see what's broken. Or if you attach the log files as indicated in the instructions, it'll save me some time by diagnosing the log files directly, instead of having to wait an hour or two for it to build.

Either way, I suggest you try and install OpenFOAM 4.x instead, because it has additional bug fixes beyond 4.1: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_16.04

Hi again,

Ran through the instructions and build failed at Step 9.2,

Command;

./makeParaView -python -mpi -python-lib /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1.0 > log.makePV 2>&1

File log.makePV has the following errors... below.

thanks

Quick answer: OK, if you're in a hurry, then please skip to step #10 and continue with compiling.
I'll look into this problem with building ParaView, because there are two problems:

1. The CMake version in 18.04 is too recent for ParaView 5.0.1, so I'll need to look better into how to build a custom one... which I can't remember if in OpenFOAM 4.1 it is straight forward or not...
2. The very first error is because GCC 7 is not supported for building ParaView 5.0.1... so I'll have to revise the instructions to either use an older GCC version or to unlock the check line that is restricting to GCC 5/6...

[wyldckat]

Quick answer: I've finally tested building OpenFOAM 4.x on Ubuntu 18.04 and the instructions are now available here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_18.04

The fix needed for building ParaView can be applied with this command:

sed -ibck -e 's/\[3456\]/[34567]/' ParaView-5.0.1/VTK/CMake/{GenerateExportHeader,vtkCompilerExtras}.cmake

Thanks to this post indicating that we can still build the old ParaView 5.0.1 with GCC 7:

This way it's not necessary to use an older GCC version

Hello wyldckat,


I followed the steps from the link you shared to install OpenFOAM 4.x in Ubuntu 18.04. It installed successfully without any error.



I tried to run Cavity case from incompressible/icoFoam and that also ran successfully.


Now, I want to use chtMultiregionSimpleFoam from tutorials/heatTransfer, But when I try to run this solver it gives me an error that

 chtMultiregionSimpleFoam not found

.

I don't know if I have done something wrong while installing it

OR
are there some additional steps I need to perform in order to use this solver?


Note: All other solvers run without errors.



It would be really kind of you if you could help me in this.


Thanks

[wyldckat]

Quick answer: "chtMultiregionSimpleFoam" is incorrect, the "Region" name is with an upper case "R".

Hello,


I try to install Helyx OS on ubuntu 20.04.


I have follow the installation guide for ubuntu 18.04 (https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_18.04). It fails during the step 10.2


See the attached log.make


Is there an other way to install helyx OS on ubuntu 20.04?


Best regards
