How to install a new OpenFoam model

gneisenau10 · November 10, 2022, 12:00

Hi,
I am a new OpenFOAM user and for my work I need to install a new model option (radiative model, available at https://gitlab.com/Jose_Moreno/openfoam_dom).
When I run the wmake command as suggested, I got the following errors:

"wmakeLnInclude error: base directory /opt/openfoam10/src/transportModels/compressible/ does not exist
wmakeLnInclude error: base directory /opt/openfoam10/src/thermophysicalModels/SLGThermo/ does not exist
Make/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/files:1: *** missing separator. Stop.
Make/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/files:1: *** missing separator. Stop."

For the first part I know I have to install both modules, but I could not find a tutorial for it (I did find the source files in https://www.openfoam.com/documentati...fb833c602.html).
As for the missing separators, I do not know what the issue is.

I would appreciate any help regarding this issue.
As additional information, I am using openfoam10 on Ubuntu on a Windows 11 computer, and I am not using any kind of company computer (I have all the rights for the computer I am using, I need to install everything myself).

Thank you in advance

I eventually solved my problem, the module required OpenFoam version 6 to run as some of the required models do not exist anymore in the current version.
