Hey all,

I have a user defined solver that I want to execute in OF (the solver is entitled icoPeriodicScalarTransportFoam) but when I try to execute it in a similar way to any other solver (such as icoFoam) I get the error:

error: can't find 'icoPeriodicScalarTransportFoam' or it is not executable.

Now, the solver was not created by me, but I know that this solver package did once work on another computer account that I don't have access to. All the files for this solver are located in $WORKING_DIR/OpenFOAM/$USER-OF_VERSION_NUMBER/applications/solvers/incompressible/icoPeriodicScalarTransportFoam

My question is, what modifications do I need to do in order to make this solver function like a normal OpenFOAM solver?

Thanks
Jeff

Are you sure it is correctly compiled?

it seems you did not compile it at all!
so go to the file directory and write wmake in terminal!
if it compile it fine, it will works

Yeah you're right, I didn't compile it at all. Woops, I'm still learning.

Works good now, thanks!
