CFD Online Discussion Forums - Unknown groovyBC warning

Hello,

I am trying to use a groovyBC for the first time to create a time varying velocity input to CFD simulation.

My groovyBC input in the U file can be seen below:

Code:

Inlet

    {

        type            groovyBC;

         valueExpression "vector((1148120681*pow(time(),16)) +      (-7266830068.7*pow(time(),15)) + (20865494854.4*pow(time(......... 

        value           uniform (0 0 0);

    }

(it is a long polynomial wrt time)

When I run the simulation though I get some errors.

Despite adding

Code:

libs ("libOpenFOAM.so"

      "libsimpleSwakFunctionObjects.so"

      "libswakFunctionObjects.so"

      "libgroovyBC.so"

);

to the controlDict I get the warning below:

Code:

--> FOAM Warning :

    From function dlLibraryTable::open(const fileName& functionLibName)

    in file db/dlLibraryTable/dlLibraryTable.C at line 124

    could not load libOpenFOAM.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

--> FOAM Warning :

    From function dlLibraryTable::open(const fileName& functionLibName)

    in file db/dlLibraryTable/dlLibraryTable.C at line 124

    could not load libsimpleSwakFunctionObjects.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Could this be because I am running this simulation in /mnt/c/Users/merli/simulations/cylinderTest1 but I downloaded swak4foam in ~/foam/mfwilliams-4.0/swak4Foam?

Also, as soon as I start the solver I get the warning:

Code:

--> FOAM Warning : 



       From function  groovyBCFvPatchField<Type>::groovyBCFvPatchField(const  fvPatch& p,const DimensionedField<Type, volMesh>& iF,Const  dictionary& dict)

      in file groovyBCFvPatchField.C at line 141

      No value defined for U on Inlet therefore using the internal field next to the patch

Please can someone advise me as to why these errors are occuring? I am testing this BC on the solids4Foam tutorial: fixed, conformal cylinder in channel.

Thank you for your help
