Hi,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone.
This is my first time to use ubuntu system and openfoam, i have installed OpenFOAM-2.2.x and it can work smoothly. But my purpose is to use the CFDEM coupling, and I tried some times but failed to use the CFDEM coupling sinulation.
Concering the postprocess of the simulation, i want to install these softwares one time, but have no complete step by step processures. Is there anyone could help me and give me a complete installation on mp ubuntu ?
Thanks very much.

OpenFOAM-2.2.x is the git
OpenFOAM-2.2.x is the git version ? This is not compatible with CFDEM coupling.
You need to revert back to 2.2.1 using these instructions:
http://cfdem.dcs-computing.com/?q=comment/4615#comment-4615
after this steps you can follow the official pdf install instruction (edit bashrc, launch cfdemCompLig, cfdemCompCFDEM)
best,
Christian.

what is the version of LIGGGHTS and CFDEM coupling I should use
Thank you for your help, and I will follow your advice and try to install these software. But I have a another question, if I use OpenFOAM-2.2.1, what is the version of LIGGGHTS and CFDEM coupling I should use on my Ubuntu 12.04 ?
Thanks very much.

LIGGGHTS 2.3.8 and CFDEM 2.5
LIGGGHTS 2.3.8 and CFDEM 2.5.5 (both are the latest git-stable releases)

how to run CFDEM coupling ? and also in some processors?
hi, richti
Thanks for your great help. The good news is that I have installed the openfoam, LIGGGHTS and CFDEM coupling successfully followed your tips. Thanks.
I am a beginner in openfoam and OpenFOAM, LIGGGHTS can work in my ubuntu 12.04. When i run the command
>> cfdemTestTUT
The running results is a graph, and without any errors. I am not sure if I installed the CFDEM coupling correctly ?
But CFDEM can not work in coupling in the test case called cfdemSolverPiso/ErgunTestMPI, I used the command:
>> ./Allrun.sh
But the Allrun.sh script does not work for me.
After that i run the test case cfdemSolverPiso/ErgunTestMPI/DEM and cfdemSolverPiso/ErgunTestMPI/CFD seperately and running in several processors. Then works, the commands I used as follows 3 examples:
>> cd CFD
>> blockMesh
>> decomposePar
>> mpirun -np 4 cfdemSolverPiso -parallel
>> reconstructPar
>> paraFoam
>> cd ../DEM
>> liggghts < in.liggghts_init // dump.* files were created in post file
>> cd post
>> lpp dump*.liggghts_init // form to VTK files
>> paraview
also run DEM in parallel, works well too,
>> mpirun -np 4 liggghts -in in.liggghts_init
>> cd post
>> lpp dump*.liggghts_init // form to VTK files
>> paraview
My question is that why i cant run the CFDEM case in coupling ? if the command i used >>./Allrun.sh
is wrong ?
If there is someone can tell me what is the commands running CFDEM coupling ? and also some setting ?
How can I run the CFDEM coupling in parallel (i mean with several professors)?
Thank you very much.

followed my question
followed above questions,
when I run test case called cfdemSolverPiso/ErgunTestMPI, I used the command:
>> ./Allrun.sh
the results are as follows:
parse error near line 10 of file totalPressureDrop.m
syntax error
>>> path = '../postProcessing/probes/0/T'; //'../probes/0/p'
^
error: parse error while reading script file totalPressureDrop.m
