Hello!

I am trying to implement the objective function that minimizes power loss in the adjointShapeOptimizationFoam as described in:

http://www.tfd.chalmers.se/~hani/kur...ortAdjoint.pdf

The new solver compiled and everything should be working well, but when I try to solve a case, I get the following error:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:

request for RAS RASProperties from objectRegistry region0 failed
available objects of type RAS are
1(turbulenceProperties)

From function const Type& Foam:bjectRegistry::lookupObject(const Foam::word&) const [with Type = Foam::RASModel<Foam::IncompressibleTurbulenceModel <Foam::transportModel> >]
in file /opt/openfoam4/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/objectRegistryTemplates.C at line 193.

FOAM aborting

#5 ? at ??:?
#6 ? at ??:?
#7 __libc_start_main in "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6"

I am stuck at this and any help will be appreciated!

Note: my version is 4.1.

I was able to figure that out. On OF version 4.1, two changes are needed:

1) When the tutorial says to include:

#include "RASModel.H"

It is necessary to include:

#include "turbulentTransportModel.H"

Note: this was in another thread -> Error while compiling adjointShapeOptimizationFoam

2) When the tutorial says to include:

db().lookupObject<incompressible::RASModel>("RASPr operties");

It is necessary to change it to:

db().lookupObject<incompressible::RASModel>("turbu lenceProperties");

At least, this worked fine for me!

Hope this is of help to other people!
