Hi everyone,
I successfully installed swak4Foam. Now i am working on OF2.1.1 version. Initially i run wobbler case in the swak4Foam library by using solidDisplacementFoam (i didn't made any changes for the solver), I got some error message.

Error:-

At first i run with blockMesh and then i called solidDisplacementFoam. Please suggest me how to rectify this problem.

Thanks

Greetings Mallikarjuna,

The file content format has changed since the example was created for swak4Foam. You can easily fix the problem by running the following command:

cp $FOAM_TUTORIALS/stressAnalysis/solidDisplacementFoam/plateHole/constant/mechanicalProperties constant/

When in doubt, check OpenFOAM's own tutorials

Best regards,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,
Thanks for quick reply. Now it is working.
I have one more doubt. actually in my case i need write zero flux boundary condition. when i applied this boundary condition, i got an expression for gradient. In that equation i need to access gradient of another field. Could you please suggest me any case which is close to my problem.

Thanks

Hi Mallikarjuna,

Sorry, I unfortunately don't know. I hope someone else can answer you.
Perhaps you might have to create a new thread to ask that question and be more detailed of what you want to know!

Best regards,
Bruno

"snGrad(foo)" in a groovyBC-expression should give you the surface-normal gradient of field foo on the patch. Hope that helps
