Quick questions:

1. Is your Ubuntu 18.04 running in a real machine or a virtual machine or directly on Windows 10 via WSL?
2. Which installation instructions are you following?
3. And if you followed the instructions given at https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_18.04 ?
4. Any chance you can install foam-extend 4.1? Instead of 4.0?

I resolved the problem. Thanks

would you mind to share how you resolved the issue, please?

My study interest was to extract sloshing forces and through literature review, I found the interDyFoam is merged with the new interFoam solver in OF-v7. I have installed OpenFOAM 7 and successfully completed the simulation.

My advice to the new bees is to first narrow down the search based on the case which one wants to apply and the then look for the solver and later install the OF available from the different sources.

This is my favourite site which helped me to know about OpenFOAM
http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Main_Page

About, Foam-Extend I haven't checked it but I am eager to look into it once I get more knowledge about OpenFOAM run environment.

Thanks
