I thought getting started with OpenFOAM over the Christmas holidays would be a good idea... anyways, I just started and here is what I get:
--> FOAM FATAL ERROR : Wrong number of arguments, expected 2 found 0 Whats behind it? What is an argument, where/how do I change it? Thanks a lot Jan |

Which version are you using?
I guess 1.4.1, if so, you have to provide root and case directory. For example: Usage: simpleFoam <root> <case> [-parallel] Usually you put your case in a directory (let's call it "casedir") and from the top dir you use: simpleFoam . casedir Have a look to the user guide of the version you are using, you can find solutions to this kind of problems. I suggest, however, to use version 1.5. Why starting with something old? |

Tried to install 1.5, but on running . $HOME/.bashrc , I get an error claiming that my bashrc in the OpenFoam-1.5.x directory does not exist, and one error TMOUT: readonly variable
So I seem to be stuck with 1.4. Have you encountered such a problem before? What about the "update" from 1.4.1 to 1.5., do I have to run through the complete installation process? The Info they provide for on the homepage does not really help... |
