Dear all,

To my knowledge this version also works with latest OpenFOAM(R)-2.1.1.
(Excessive testing is needs to be done)

Cheers,
Chris

Dear all,

i did some changes to the code to make it backward compatible to OpenFOAM(R)-1.6:

+Please use the precompiler flag in cfdemCloud.H to compile it with 1.6.
+Additionally it might be necessary to remove the -lmpi_cxx in the options file.
+further the syntax of time variant BCs was different in 1.6, so some changes in ErgunTestMPI/0/U are necessary (see comments)

Cheers,
Chris

I just wanted to clone the public GIT to a machine and received the error:

>>error: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK.

I followed the approch of : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3777075/https-github-access/4454754#4... which says that: "The problem is that you do not have any of Certification Authority certificates installed on your system."

A work around is:
env GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true git clone https://github.com/CFDEMproject/CFDEMcoupling-PUBLIC.git CFDEMcoupling-PUBLIC-$WM_PROJECT_VERSION

which worked.

Kind Regards,
Chris
