hello Guibault,
I think I a m doing something wrong,but:
If I try to dowload the software than only the first link with ../tree links me to a page of 3.1 beta release with a repo of 3.2
the links with software show no page at all
The link with software instructions lead me to a page where I can click on a button for Ubuntu 14.04, but this leads me to install instructions of release 3.1.
Best regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

Release 3.2 is currently still in the repository of version 3.1. It will be moved to its own master branch shortly. In the mean time, did you try to get the code using git (using the following commands):
git clone http://git.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-ex...oam-extend-3.1 foam-extend-3.2
cd foam-extend-3.2
git checkout v3.2

That should get you the whole source code tree.
I am not sure which link you are refering to when saying that "the links with software show no page at all".

As for the install on Ubuntu, the instructions are the same for 3.1 and 3.2.

Hello Guibault,
I am using Firfox as browser and this shows as text http://git.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-ex...oam-extend-3.1, in the mail I got that an answer was written, in brackets the whole path was mentioned:
(http://git.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-ex...oam-extend-3.1).
When I run the git commands, I get a message that I am in detached HEAD state, see below. The software seems to be there.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b new_branch_name

Hi,

Dr. Jasak announced a tutorial including a moving immersed boundary in the following:

https://twitter.com/hrvoje_jasak/sta...57532137705472

How can I access the tutorial? I was not able to find it on sourceforge v3.2 pages.

Thank you for your response in advance.

Regards,

Utku

That's normal. The v3.2 is a tag and not a branch, which is why it gives the "detached HEAD" message. If you prefer to be working on a branch, you can now run this command:

git checkout -b fe32

And it will create the branch "fe32" in your local repository.

I'll quote a post of his from a few weeks ago:

and report on your experience.

But if you already have cloned the repository, then run the following command:

git checkout nextRelease

[utkunun]

Dear wyldckat,

Thank you very much for your quick response. I have been looking for a particular case where the immersed boundary moves. I think the tweet is about that. There exist many immersed boundary tutorials in the next release 3.2 but they are for stationary immersed boundary problems, if I am not mistaken. So is there a way to access this new tutorial #244?

Regards,

Utku

[wyldckat]

Quick answer: Sorry, I had assumed that he was referring to the nextRelease in the foam-extend 3.1 repository. Actually, he was referring to his own repository: http://sourceforge.net/u/hjasak/foam...tRelease/tree/

If you want to start with a new clean copy, you can get it with the following commands:

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/u/hjasak/foam-extend-3.2 foam-extend-3.2
cd foam-extend-3.2
git checkout nextRelease

If you want to use your already existing repository of foam-extend 3.2, then use these commands:

foam
git remote add hjasak git://git.code.sf.net/u/hjasak/foam-extend-3.2 
git fetch hjasak
git merge hjasak/nextRelease

The tutorial folder is this one:

tutorials/immersedBoundary/movingCylinderInChannelIco

The new solver is this one:

applications/solvers/immersedBoundary/icoDyMIbFoam

edit: See post #12 below, which has the updated instructions.

[utkunun]

Thank you so much.

Regards,

Utku

Hello,
I've found a problem in the compilation of icoDyIbFOAM, since the library loversetMesh is not present in the source repo....
Is it possible to find it somewhere ??

[wyldckat]

Sorry, I didn't have time to test building it. I've tested it now. AFAIK, the "oversetMesh" library is not needed for this solver.

To fix and build the solver, run:

sed -i -e 's=^.*oversetMesh==' applications/solvers/immersedBoundary/icoDyMIbFoam/Make/options 
wmake applications/solvers/immersedBoundary/icoDyMIbFoam

Then before you try to run the tutorial case, the "constant/dynamicMeshDict" file needs to be repaired:

1. Create a copy of the tutorial case "immersedBoundary/movingCylinderInChannelIco".
2. Edit the file "constant/dynamicMeshDict" with a text editor.
3. You will see a plus sign "+" at the start of the file, a lot of empty lines and near at the end of the file is what matters. Therefore, you need to delete the first 856 lines that don't make sense.

If you're not understanding how to edit the file or if you're feeling lazy, you can use these commands:

cp constant/dynamicMeshDict constant/dynamicMeshDict.orig
tail -n43 constant/dynamicMeshDict.orig > constant/dynamicMeshDict

[wyldckat]

Greetings to all!

A quick update, because yesterday Hrvoje Jasak merged the changes and fixes into the main repository, so this can now be gotten from the main repository .

If you want to start with a new clean copy, you can get it with the following commands:

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/foam-extend/foam-extend-3.2 foam-extend-3.2
cd foam-extend-3.2
git checkout nextRelease

Then proceed with the standard installation instructions.


If you want to use your already existing repository of foam-extend 3.2, then use these commands:

foam
git remote add fe32repo git://git.code.sf.net/p/foam-extend/foam-extend-3.2 
git fetch fe32repo
git merge fe32repo/nextRelease

Then run Allwmake again, for re-building the updated parts.


As a reminder, the tutorial folder is this one:

tutorials/immersedBoundary/movingCylinderInChannelIco

The new solver is this one:

applications/solvers/immersedBoundary/icoDyMIbFoam

Best regards,
Bruno

I am new to Open-foam extend.I have Ubunto 12.04.Is it possible to use OpenFoam extend 3.2 and is it the same installation procedures for 3.1 release. .I noticed people say that it takes longer on Ubunto12.04 . Is that it? or is it going to face problems later on during the compilation process?

You help is appreciated in advance

Thanks

[wyldckat]

Quick answer: Wiki page with installation instructions for foam-extend 3.2 is now up: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...oam-extend-3.2

For installing on Ubuntu 12.04, make sure to follow the instructions given here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...u#Ubuntu_12.04

Hi,

After reading this post and OpenFOAM wiki (https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...oam-extend-3.2), I am still not sure which branch/tag is right for me.

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/foam-extend/foam-extend-3.2 foam-extend-3.2
cd foam-extend-3.2
git show-ref --head

gives, among other references:

5ab3390aef43ef3be5669097a4f14bf538fa8b43 refs/remotes/origin/master
54c9f83b540c8ff42c2846dd4a90b91c97d02d40 refs/remotes/origin/nextRelease
2fe93a933878a9a6bebbd3d7d358f1448bb14ac2 refs/tags/v3.2

Beside these, one can also find in git://git.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-extend/foam-extend-3.1

094e842fc0b0285ca5e39aeb081fa9056dfefb94 refs/remotes/origin/nextRelease
45fafce6b8ba03cf883b20b11df07e6a948ec6ae refs/tags/v3.2

Could you please explain what are each of them?

P.S.: A similar question regarding foam-extend-3.1 can be found here

Kind regards,

Hi,

Using git, I investigated the relationship between the following branches and tags of foam-extend-3.1 and foam-extend-3.2 as of today:

• git://git.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-extend/foam-extend-3.1

45fafce6b8ba03cf883b20b11df07e6a948ec6ae refs/tags/v3.2
094e842fc0b0285ca5e39aeb081fa9056dfefb94 refs/remotes/origin/nextRelease
1dd681f6e9430f3a49b7b69caf99649b5f23cf86 refs/remotes/origin/master 
7d8e040bf53d952f86a4f1c2ff073ab3c6abc006 refs/tags/3.1.1 
6c0c77dee21ac095fb7b430dcf93a8f16e3ac412 refs/tags/3.1

• git://git.code.sf.net/p/foam-extend/foam-extend-3.2

54c9f83b540c8ff42c2846dd4a90b91c97d02d40 refs/remotes/origin/nextRelease
5ab3390aef43ef3be5669097a4f14bf538fa8b43 refs/remotes/origin/master
2fe93a933878a9a6bebbd3d7d358f1448bb14ac2 refs/tags/v3.2

I found out that a simplified commit history of all of these commits just showing the parent-children relationship would look like this:

* 54c9f83b540c8ff42c2846dd4a90b91c97d02d40   (foam-extend-3.2/nextRelease)
| * 5ab3390aef43ef3be5669097a4f14bf538fa8b43 (foam-extend-3.2/master)
|/
* 334ba0562a2cf50a1c700d240d85f9e07c8175b4
* 094e842fc0b0285ca5e39aeb081fa9056dfefb94   (foam-extend-3.2 tag: 3.2, foam-extend-3.1 tag: 3.2, foam-extend-3.1/nextRelease)
* 1dd681f6e9430f3a49b7b69caf99649b5f23cf86   (foam-extend-3.1/master)
* 7d8e040bf53d952f86a4f1c2ff073ab3c6abc006   (foam-extend-3.1 tag: 3.1.1)
* 6c0c77dee21ac095fb7b430dcf93a8f16e3ac412   (foam-extend-3.1 tag: 3.1)

As pointed out by Håkan Nilsson in another reply, "there is unfortunately no tag 4.0, but you can consider the nextRelease branch [of foam-extend-3.2] as the most recent 4.0 version".

In git, the tag's SHA (e.g. 45fafc) and the SHA of the commit it points to (094e84) are not the same.

One can see a description of what was changed from one commit to another by, e.g.,

git log --graph --full-history --oneline 6c0c77dee21ac095fb7b430dcf93a8f16e3ac412..7d8e040bf53d952f86a4f1c2ff073ab3c6abc006

Kind regards,
Thomas
