Creating Solver

gulshiraz · September 10, 2017, 18:49

Hi

I am trying to create a solver in applications/solvers but the bash displays the message "Permission Denied". Someone with a solution?

Can you describe your problem more details? and where your openfoam lib installed?

Hi gulshiraz,

This is probably an issue due to file permissions. By default, if you install opebfoam as a root (using apt-get for example on ubuntu), files in source folders are owned by "root" and only readable.

First, you should put your solver-folder in $HOME for example and then replace $FOAM_APPBIN by $FOAM_USER_APPBIN in the file "Make/files"

Sincerely,

Pierre

The solvers have been by default saved in root directory. Is there a way to access root directory while using bash on Windows?

@Pierre, if you could please provide some more details on it.
