Hello.When I run motorBike tutorial with my own stl file I get error after running simpleFoam.It looks for p in 0/processor 1.I have transfered p into there but does not work.Please help.

Quick answer: If you ran the case with the Allrun script, then you need to check the content of all of the files that have the prefix "log.*". You should find the real reason for the problem in one of the files.

Thanks for quick reply.Ok I have just run it again and it says cannot find file incompressible/simpleFoam/motorBike/processor4/0/p at line 0.

Quick answers:
1. Run:

ls -l log.*

It will show you all of the files you need to look into.

2. On the other hand, perhaps the problem is related to any changes you made to the Allrun script, or perhaps you deleted the folder "0.org"?

No the 0.org file is there.How would the Allrun file be corrupt?I have been at this for 4 months and still cannot get a result

Quoting myself from the other day:

This to say that: you are assuming the Allrun file is working properly, even if you haven't achieved any results with it in the past 4 months?

If are not able to follow the instructions given here: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-get-help.html - then it's nearly impossible to help you. We are not able to see what you're seeing, unless you shows us.

Thanks.Now my problem is I am in South Africa I do not have internet so do all this frm my BlackBerry cellphone.So very difficult to send attachments as I would like.But u have pointed me in a direction which I did not think off.Anything else u can advise.Thanks

[wyldckat]

My main advise is to take small steps.
Don't go directly to your objective simulation, because the case will be too complex and there will be too many possibilities that can go wrong.
If you only do one small change at a time, it will be a lot easier to find what is the problem.

In addition, study the other tutorial cases that use snappyHexMesh. You can find them by running:

find $FOAM_TUTORIALS -name "snappyHexMeshDict"

Thanks.I have read so many tutorials.I am so close to having my stl file processed.But just this problem with the 0 folder needed.SnappyHexMesh I have sorted.No problem.But thanks again.

Hi,this is to say thanks to Bruno.With ur help I am 99% there to running my stl file.Now where do change pressure or velocity?

What do you mean exactly?
If you're referring to the case, check the files in the folder "0".
If you're referring in ParaView, then check the ParaView User Guide, which should be where you installed ParaView.
Or check the OpenFOAM User Guide, which is where you installed OpenFOAM, somewhere inside the "doc" folder, in the chapter for the tutorials.
