I'm trying to get the cfdOF package in FreeCAD working. The recommended OpenFOAM install is the Windows mingw package, specifically version 2206.

I installed the latest 2212 version thinking the newer version should work. I also installed cfmesh and HISA. Unfortanately cfdOF cannot find either cfmesh or HISA to execute those commands externally. Thinking it might be a PATH issue with the external environment I executed the openfoam terminal command to check the environment $PATH variable.

OpenFOAM-v2212-MSYS2-Terminal

When I type $PATH I get the following output:

$ $PATH
bash: /home/ofuser/OpenFOAM/sstev-v2212/platforms/win64MingwDPInt32Opt/bin:/home/ofuser/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2212/site/2212/platforms/win64MingwDPInt32Opt/bin:/home/ofuser/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2212/platforms/win64MingwDPInt32Opt/bin:/home/ofuser/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-v2212/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/c/Program: No such file or directory

Notice the last entry in the list "/c/Program: No such file or directory"

Looking at the source, I think the script responsible for creating the environment $PATH is
setEnvVariables-v2212.bat

The last line in this script is:
set PATH=%WM_PROJECT_DIR%\platforms\%TYPE%\bin\;%WM_PR OJECT_DIR%\platforms\%TYPE%\lib\mpi\;%WM_THIRD_PAR TY_DIR%\platforms\%TYPE_THIRDPARTY%\lib\;%PATH%

You can see the last term "%PATH%" where it is applying the windows path. This is apparently not working. Can anyone help? How to I get all the needed PATH information into the OpenFOAM terminal environment?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what the problem was but the PATH issue cleared itself up the next time I worked in this issue. I still cannot get cfdOF to recognize cfmesh, gmesh, or hisa, but that is a separate problem that I continue to work on.
