CFDEM-error

Submitted by vipul.shrivastava on Wed, 09/05/2012 - 11:48

Hello,
Today i installed CFDEM coupling on my desktop and when i tried to run one example case i got this error in one terminal, in the other one it created mesh and one blank document file also popped up. could anyone please tell me the reason behind this error and how to fix it. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
the first line that tells you about the error is the one stating "mpirun was unable to launch the specified application as it could not find an executable:" and furtheron you are informed that the executable cfdemSolverPisoScalar cannot be found. This can either mean that the installation failed and the executable doesn't exist or that the pathes are not set correctly. Please doblecheck your installation!
Cheers,
Alice

Thank you Alice for the reply. Probably i made some errors, installed it again now the coupling works perfectly.

Cheers,

Hello,
Now can you please suggest me some links(tutorial or manual) for setting up my own case in CFDEM. Though i am using openFoam and LIGGGHTS since last 3 months and have run my own cases seperately on both but that would be helpful if i could get one simple problem described in brief on CFDEM.

I am not clear about the CFD/octave directory as i have used paraview so far for post processing. I am unable to get any information about the cfdemsolverpiso, cfdemsolverpisoscaler and 2 more solvers. As well as coupling properties,Us,voidfraction and some other files in CFD/0 are creating problem. I want to set up a turbulent case for a desilting chamber. Little confused, probably i havn't searched properly but any kind of help would be appreciated.

Regards
Vipul
