Hello everyone,

I want to to simulate the warming of PCM (phase change material). In approximation their phase change has constant volume. To attribute for the heat of fusion, I want to model a very high cp value, while using the regular cp value for the solid and fluid state. I found an already existing tabularThermophysicalPropertiesModel.

Following all the given steps, tutorials and the documentation I've been able to:

-create my own solver -> chtPCMFoam (equals chtMultiRegionFoam)
-compile the tabularThermophysicalPropertiesModel
-run the tutorial to check if the tabular model is installed correctly

Now I want to add the tabular model to my own solver, but it is giving me a hard time. As far as I understand it, I have to make changes to the Make/options file, and link my lnInclude and my shared libraries in there.

The libraries seem to work like this:

EXE_LIBS = \
    -L{$FOAM_USER_LIBBIN} \
    -L{$FOAM_USER_LIBBIN}/libTabularThermophysicalModels.so \
    -L{$FOAM_USER_LIBBIN}/libuserspecie.so

But the lnInclude part is returning an error all the time:

 EXE_INC = \
   -I$(HOME)/cfd/CFD/newSolver/tabulatedThermophysicalProperties-Feature_OF7/src/thermophysicalModels/specie/lnInclude \
   -I$(HOME)/cfd/CFD/newSolver/tabulatedThermophysicalProperties-Feature_OF7/src/thermophysicalModels/basis/lnInclude

wmakeLnIncludeAll: running wmakeLnInclude on dependent libraries:
    unknown option: '-I/home/cfd/CFD/newSolver/tabulatedThermophysicalProperties-Feature_OF7/src/thermophysicalModels/specie/lnInclude'

Usage: wmakeLnInclude [OPTION] dir

options:
  -update | -u      update
  -silent | -s      use 'silent' mode (do not echo command)
  -help   | -h      print the usage

    Link all the source files in the <dir> into <dir>/lnInclude

Note
    The '-u' option forces an update when the lnInclude directory already exists
    and changes the default linking from 'ln -s' to 'ln -sf'.

    wmakeLnInclude error: base directory \ does not exist
    unknown option: '-I/home/cfd/CFD/newSolver/tabulatedThermophysicalProperties-Feature_OF7/src/thermophysicalModels/basis/lnInclude'

I'm very thankful for any advice on how to do this the right way.
