Hi everyone, I'm running the sprayFoam. I have successfully run several cases before, but from last Monday, Openfoam became very wired. It stopped at the beginning and the error report is as below(with sprayFoam):

#16 _start in "/usr/apps1/openfoam-2.1.1/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/platforms/linux64Gcc44DPDebug/bin/sprayFoam"

While if I run with mysprayFoam(no change with solver only link to my library), it also stopped at the beginning and said:
--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
mesh flux field does not exists, is the mesh actually moving?

From function fvMesh::phi()
in file fvMesh/fvMeshGeometry.C at line 400.

FOAM exiting
I believe it's a configuration problem as when I run on my friend's computer(with sprayFoam), it works. So it may not be the input problem or case problem. Thanks for helping.

Greetings conceptone,

Well, there are several possibilities, all of which are likely either hardware related or incorrect usage

Starting with the smaller list - incorrect usage:
  • Did you make sure you were running with a clean case?
  • Were all of the necessary files copied to the right place?
  • Did you change anything in OpenFOAM's global "controlDict" files?
  • Did you accidentally erase anything?
Possible hardware issues:
  • Are you running the case in a remote and/or shared folder?
  • Is there enough disk space?
  • Is there enough memory space?
  • Were there any periodic updates made to the system? More importantly, was the kernel updated or any core system libraries have been updated without rebooting?
  • Does the command dmesg give any reports of problems?
  • Are you using a virtual machine?
  • Have you used Adobe Flash for seeing stuff online?
    I ask this in particular because with me, it has lead to memory corruptions... Adobe Flash on Linux is almost a software aberration
  • Have you tried rebooting the machine?
Best regards,
Bruno

Dear Bruno,
Thanks for replying. Actually, I submit the case to run on the processor, and the case is not run by my computer and I don't have the manage right for linux system, so ...(sorry for forgetting those terms...)
When you say "clean case", actually I copied a case finished file from the remote file to my memory file last week, and the nightmare seemed to begin from that time. Because previously I have run the cases without problem, but after that, at first, the number of particle in lagrangian file in calculated time file exists much fewer than before(see below), then I recompiled the library and solver copied to my own computer, it comes out "mesh flux field does not exists, is the mesh actually moving?"(with mysprayFoam), then I tried sprayFoam(openfoam's original solver and libs), it comes out the message I posted. But later my friend tried with his computer(he doesn't use our remote processors), and the same case file can work. I guess there are two possible reasons: one is the memory space, the other is the "unclean" things from the finished case file I copied since before I can run the cases normally. Do you think it's reasonable?
Thanks

If possible, try rebooting your computer!?

As for your friend's computer, did he copy the files from your computer or from the other machine as well?

Actually, the situation is better now..I just switch to non-debug version.. It seems that Openfoam's code is not so robust as I imagine..
Thanks anyway!
