compiling CFDEMcoupling with different OF versions

Hello,

the latest release of CFDEMcouplng-PUBLIC compiles with several different OF versions.
I personally use 2.4.x (see here: https://github.com/CFDEMproject/CFDEMcoupling-PUBLIC/blob/master/src/lag... ) and therefore the settings in the repo should be fine for 2.4.x.

In case you want to compile the CFDEMcoupling toolbox with other OF versions you have the following switches:

a) chose your version (2.4.x, 3.0.x and Ext-3.2 should work properly - for older versions you need to give it a try)
https://github.com/CFDEMproject/CFDEMcoupling-PUBLIC/blob/master/src/lag...

b) select the corresponding additionalLibs file by defining CFDEM_ADD_LIBS_NAME and CFDEM_ADD_LIBS_DIR in your .bashrc file.
See the different files here: https://github.com/CFDEMproject/CFDEMcoupling-PUBLIC/blob/master/src/lag...

For the tutorials you might need to do minor changes in ..CFD/0/U and ../CFD/octave/*.m . The BC migth have different names or the write path of a probe might have changed.

Enjoy,
Chris

Hi Chris,

thanks for the new commit c3a1e37 of CFDEM yesterday, this solved a lot of issues during the compilation! I compiled CFDEM 3.0.0 with OpenFOAM 3.0.x and the compilation ran smoothly after some minor changes, but I have not tested it yet.

Beside considering the two points (a) and (b) mentioned above, I had to change the VTK library links in the additionalLibs_30x file because I am using Ubuntu instead of Fedora.

=============================================
Fedora (comment or delete)
=============================================
# paths for additional libraries
CFDEM_ADD_LIB_PATHS = \
-L/usr/include/vtk \
-L/usr/lib64/vtk \

# additional libraries to be linked to solvers
CFDEM_ADD_LIBS = \
-lvtkCommonCore \
-lvtkIOCore \
-lvtkIOXML \
-lvtkIOLegacy \
-lvtkCommonDataModel \
=============================================

=============================================
Ubuntu (add)
=============================================
# paths for additional libraries
CFDEM_ADD_LIB_PATHS = \
-I/usr/include/vtk-5.8 \

# additional libraries to be linked to solvers
CFDEM_ADD_LIBS = \
-lvtkCommon \
-lvtkFiltering \
-lvtkIO \

=============================================

If the VTK library is not installed yet on the system, one can get it with the following command:
sudo apt-get install libvtk5-dev

Compiling CFDEM 3.0.0

Hey Harald,

I'm new with CFDEM and I'm having a very hard time understanding the following line in the previous post.

"select the corresponding additionalLibs file by defining CFDEM_ADD_LIBS_NAME and CFDEM_ADD_LIBS_DIR in your .bashrc file."

I would really appreciate it if you could provide me with more information on how to define CFDEM_ADD_LIBS_NAME and CFDEM_ADD_LIBS_DIR in .bashrc file. (Do I need to add more command lines to .bashrc file?)

It would be very helpful if you could kindly provide me with your files, which you were able to make it work.

Thank you very much,

aalborz

Hello aalborz,

Hello aalborz,
you are right, just add the two additional variables in the same manner as the other CFDEM-variables that you copied there during the installation. For compiling CFDEMcoupling with OF 3.0.x you'll need to set the CFDEM_ADD_LIBS_NAME to additionalLibs_30x, and the CFDEM_ADD_LIBS_DIR is the path of the etc directory within your lagrangian source directory (it's best to just look for it).
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Alice

Dear Alice,

Thank you very much for you prompt response. I really appreciate it. It worked !!!

I'm also having a hard time compiling one of the solvers in CFDEM. (I'm using OF 3.0.x)

The error is:
"turbulenceModel.H: No such file or directory"

I noticed somewhere that the dir-path of the turbulence model in OF 3.0.x is different from OF 2.x.

I'm confused about chaging this directory and really don't know where and what to change.
-- I've already applied the change in the following link:
http://www.cfdem.com/forums/compiling-cfdemcoupling-different-versions

I would really appreciate it if you could provide me with any information regarding this issue.

Thank you very much,

aalborz

compiled CFDEM 3.0.0 with OpenFOAM 3.0.x

Hello Harald,

thank you for the feedback!

Yes, I pushed some minor changes to allow for smoother compilation with the cfdemCompileCFDEMxxx scripts - glad to hear it works for you now.

Concerning your changes to the additionalLibs file - this is very system specific and so I can only give an example for how it looks on my system.
Thank you for sharing your setup - it might be useful for someone else!

Best regards,
Chris

Version tag

Hi Chris,
could you please set a version tag in the git repository to mark the final commit of the release?
Cheers
Daniel

cgoniva | Tue, 01/26/2016 - 22:38

Version tag

Hi Daniel,

I guess your intention is being able to identify "previous versions", right?

Cheers,
Chris

Daniel Queteschiner | Mon, 02/01/2016 - 11:51

Version tag

Yes, tags make it so much easier to identify a certain release and ensures that everyone is talking about the same code version.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Chris

Hi Chris,

I chose OF version 3.0.x and the corresponding additionalLibs file by defining CFDEM_ADD_LIBS_NAME and CFDEM_ADD_LIBS_DIR in .bashrc file. There is no error after cfdemCompCFDEM command. But I still can't start an example by cfdemTestTUT， even by ./Allrun.sh in the folder. when these command were used, the error came out:

mpirun has exited due to process rank 0 with PID 9855 on
node yuyaowei-shu exiting improperly. There are two reasons this could occur:

1. this process did not call "init" before exiting, but others in
the job did. This can cause a job to hang indefinitely while it waits
for all processes to call "init". By rule, if one process calls "init",
then ALL processes must call "init" prior to termination.

2. this process called "init", but exited without calling "finalize".
By rule, all processes that call "init" MUST call "finalize" prior to
exiting or it will be considered an "abnormal termination"

This may have caused other processes in the application to be
terminated by signals sent by mpirun (as reported here).
