I have implemented a custom LES model for OpenFOAM 2.0.0 and have successfully compiled it. However, the terminal reports that it cannot read the .so file associated with it.

From function dlLibraryTable:pen(const fileName&)
in file db/dynamicLibrary/dlLibraryTable/dlLibraryTable.C at line 99
could not load "libmyIncompressibleLESModels.so"

The solver also reports "unknown LESModel type," certainly as it cannot seem to read the custom file.

How can it not recognize the file when there were no compilation errors?

Hi Eric,

1. How do you try to load the additional library?
2. Are you sure that it is in a location that OpenFoam knows?

Kind regards,

Niels

Hi,

I compiled using wmake, which created the library in my $FOAM_USER_LIBBIN path. I load it with the appropriate controlDict entry. It is worth noting that I have done the same with custom RANS models with no issue, which means OF recognizes this path. This seems to be an issue with custom LES models and I wonder if this is a bug.

I might also mention that I am "linking" two LES models (much like the "mixedSmagorinsky" model uses scaleSimilarity and Smagorinsky) in order to develop this custom model. Would that be adding difficulty to the compilation?

Example:

class mixedSmagorinsky
:
public scaleSimilarity,
public Smagorinsky
{
//Member functions etc
}

To provide closure for this thread, I had an error in the header file that the compiler didn't throw.
