Hi All,
I have tried to adapt a case that I had running using the solver cfdemSolverPiso to add heating to the particles and run it with cfdemSolverPisoScalar. I made sure that everything looks correct from looking at the packedBedTemp example case. When I run the simulation I get the following error message:
Selecting locateModel engine
[0] --> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
[0] keyword engineProps is undefined in dictionary "/home/robert/CFDEM/robert-PUBLIC-4.x/run/PREXpolyhedraLaminarH2OScalar/CFD/processor0/constant/couplingProperties"
[0]
[0] file: /home/robert/CFDEM/robert-PUBLIC-4.x/run/PREXpolyhedraLaminarH2OScalar/CFD/processor0/constant/couplingProperties from line 29 to line 298.

FOAM parallel run exiting
It then goes on to say that it also cannot find the engineProps definition in the couplingProperties file in processor[1-3]/constant/ directories either. When I look at the packedBedTemp case that I have run from the tutorials I see that the only thing that is included in the processor[0-4]/constant/ directory in the polyMesh directory, there is no couplingProperties, liggghtsCommands etc. I have a $CASE_DIR/CFD/constant/couplingProperties file where engineProps is defined.
Does anyone know why my case is looking for the couplingProperties in each decomposed case?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Robert

I tried changing the
I tried changing the locateModel to standard (instead of engine), and I seem to get past that point, however the output I receive now states it cannot find twoWayMPIProps in the same manner is the above error. I am really stuck. It seems to not link the /CFD/constant/couplingProperties file to the /CFD/processor[0-3]/constant/ directory, but I can't find what is different between my case setup and the example problems setup.

I do not believe you ;) Provide a testcase, otherwise no one can help you.
Does it work with cfdemSolverPiso?

Did you maybe not close a bracket somewhere in the file or miss a semicolon?

Hello Paul,
Hello Paul,
I attached my case dir to the original post comment. I am using a mesh built in starccm*, therefore using ccm26ToFoam to generate the CFD mesh. In case you do not have this I have already built the mesh and commented out the mesh build step in my Allrun.sh.
I also checked the couplingProperties file for any syntax errors, but I believe it is all in order, with semicolons and brackets present where they should be.
It would be much appreciated if you could have a look over my case file if you have time.
Kind regards,
Robert
