ccm26ToFOAM problem
 

Hi,

I installed the OpenFOAM-2.2.0 in Ubuntu12.04 and ccm26ToFOAM, it gives an error
Can someone tell me what is wrong?

It is installed in /home/gao/OpenFOAM/gao-2.2.0/platforms/linux64GccDPOpt/bin/ccm26ToFoam

I tested with OpenFOAM-2.3.0 and got the same results.

Thank you very much!

Best regards

Zhenlan

Hi Zhenlan, when using the ccm26ToFoam utility you have to prepare the whole case (without the mesh of course), i.e. your case directory should contain 0, constant and system sub-directories including all the files as controlDict etc.

Hi, Petr

Thank you for your reply. I figured it out several days later, after I posted the question here. Indeed, we need to create a whole case. I downloaded a file tar.gz in the forum, and copy the mesh in the folder, then it works.

Thank you again.

Cheers
