I am new to open foam and ssh servers.


my problem is I need to run openFoam (simpleFoam simulation) through the university server which is an ssh server .

when I execute the (simpleFoam -help command) it gives me :
command not found


although the open foam 2.3.0 files are in the root of the uni server.





what could be the problem? is it a setup issue?

how can I fix that?





thanks in advance...

Did you source OpenFoam's bashrc file?
Or rather, since this is a cluster, did you load OpenFoam's module?

module avail

module <<INSERT OPENFOAM NAME FROM ABOVE OUTPUT HERE>>

it does not work.

the OpenFoam 2.3.0 are already loaded in the cluster, as you see below in the image.

bear in mind that paraview software is working properly in the cluster.

when I try to excute ( simpleFoam) command through the terminal ,I got the following:

simpleFoam: error while loading shared libraries: libmpi.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

still waiting for your help guys !!!

All your figure shows is that OpenFoam is installed on the cluster. It does not show that OpenFoam is loaded.

Show us the output of these commands:

module avail

echo $FOAM_APPBIN

echo -e ${PATH//:/\\n}

which simpleFoam

these are the outputs

what could be the issue??

Hi,

Have you tried to source the bashrc file for OF using the command below?

source /opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/etc/bashrc

Cheers,

yes
and it didn't work

Your output shows two things:

1) OpenFoam is indeed not loaded.
2) OpenFoam is not installed as a module on your cluster.

The latter is no problem, it just means that you have to source OpenFoam's bashrc file - which is exactly what Antimony just asked you to do.

Hence, the only thing we can help you with is with this question:

What exactly did you type? And what exactly happened when you did so?
"It didn't work" is so unspecific that we cannot help you.

when I run simpleFoam

I got the same output in the terminal command:

simpleFoam: error while loading shared libraries: libmpi.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory




I need to make the airfoil model run through the cluster

[S_teph_2000]

Hello,
I am trying to run the cavity example using two nodes (it works on both nodes in single node mode...), but I am having a problem similar to what is described above.

- When I run:
mpirun --hostfile machines -np 4 icoFoam -parallel

the application just hangs without any error message.

- When I try from node1:

ssh node2 "icoFoam -help"
I get the following error message

"bash: icoFoam: command not found"

Openfoam is installed on both nodes, the command "icoFoam -help" works when run on each node, and simple commands such as "ssh node2 'ls' " ran from node1 give the expected result.
I am using windows10 WSL

help please!!!
