run test without Allrun.sh

Submitted by shokeyi on Wed, 12/04/2013 - 20:14

Hi everyone,

Is there any method to run a test without using "bash Allrun.sh"? I could not use a "gnome-terminal " code and I got an error with "Trying to use the dummy Pstream library. This dummy library cannot be used in parallel mode". Therefore, is the test could run through other command instead of using "bash Allrun.sh"?
Any suggestions would be appreciate.

Good morning Shokeyi,
sure you can run a case without the Allrun.sh script. The main procedure is the following: if there is any DEM script for initializing the granular phase, run it in the DEM folder, using liggghts + mpirun with the correct number of processors.
The change to the CFD folder and proceed like in an OpenFOAM case by creating the mesh first, if necessary, the proceed with decomposing the case. The coupled calculation is started with mpirun + processornumber + solvername, and don't forget about the "-parallel"-switch at the end of the command line.
If you open Allrun.sh and parCFDDEMrun.sh in a text editor, you'll find all the commands you need also about post-processing the data).
Cheers,
Alice

Thanks, I have another problem with CFD
Is the CFDEM solver could model the hydrostatic pressure and the seepage force? I tried to model a seepage failure progress, however, the result of pressure seems did not change when I change the water table.
