But for me it is showing as an invalid command. Could anyone PLS help me out. I am very new to Salome-Openfoam interface

Hi Amal,

It looks like your OpenFOAM environment is not loaded. Have you sourced it?

What does it say if your type "foamVersion" or "icoFoam"?

Hi, I have a problem with grid conversion. When I tried to convert the Unv grid file exported from Salome to a format supported by OpenFoam, it got the following error. Can someone give me a hand?
Thank you!

thk@LAPTOP-04QGRRSQ:~/run/cavity$ ls
0 constant logs pipe.unv system
thk@LAPTOP-04QGRRSQ:~/run/cavity$ ideasUnvToFoam pipe.unv

Hello,

Before using OpenFOAM-related commands, you need to load the OpenFOAM environment by sourcing the bashrc file located in your OpenFOAM installation directory.

Something like:

source [PATH_TO_YOUR_OPENFOAM_INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY]/etc/bashrc

The OpenFOAM installation directory depends on the OpenFOAM version you are using. (and the way you installed OpenFOAM)
