BlockMesh Error in cylinder case
 

Hello!!

I'm stuck there while performing cylinder case, please help me.

FOAM FATAL ERROR: (openfoam-2012) cannot find file "/home/...../OpenFoam/tutorials/tutorials/basic/potentialFoam/cylinder/system/system/controlDict" From virtual Foam::autoPtr<Foam::ISstream> Foam::fileOperations::uncollatedFileOperation::rea dStream(Foam::regIOobject&, const Foam::fileName&, const Foam::word&, bool) const in file global/fileOperations/uncollatedFileOperation/uncollatedFileOperation.C at line 547.

how do you launch the blockMesh tool? And where?


You must be in the cylinder directory. Inside this one, you have the system, constant and 0 directories. And inside the sytem directory, you have the controlDict file


Edit : the system/system path is not correct... I think you launched "blockMesh" IN the system directory. Just go in the cylinder directory and type "blockMesh"

Done as you said but still not working what to do,

Now it is an other problem. make is not installed...

Check the system requirements : https://www.openfoam.com/documentati...m-requirements

(make is in the build-essential package)
