Foam-extend 3.2 and CFDEM

Hi all,

I'm currently trying to set up the CFDEM(R) workbench in a personal computer with Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS which has foam-extend-3.2 among other version of foam-extend and OpenFOAM(R).

So far, I have managed to compile LIGGGTHS(R) and CFDEM(R), following the instructions provided in:

https://www.cfdem.com/system/files/githubaccess_public.pdf

And juggling a little with the variable WM_MPLIB in the foam/foam-exten-3.2/etc/bashrc file. This variable was set to WM_MPLIB:=MPI, for the compilation of LIGGGTHS(R), and WM_MPLIB:=OPENMPI, for the compilation of CFDEM(R), depending if it worked or not during the compilation (I do not master the arcane of MPI and environment variables).

I had to comment the 13th line in file additionalLibs_3.2, namely:

#include $(CFDEM_ADD_LIBS_DIR)/additionalLibs_vtk

for the compilation of CFDEM(R).

Once the compilation completed (and correct, I guess), I proceeded to run the tutorial under tutorials/cfdemSolverPisoScalar/packedBedTemp where I had to modify the turbulence model file to comply to the format asked by foam-extend-3.2. Depending on the variable WM_MPLIB the outcome of running ./Allmake was different. For WM_MPLIB:=MPI, the log files are attached to this post. LIGGGTHS(R) seems to work while the coupling does not. My guess is that the variable WM_MPLIB should be the same while compiling LIGGGTHS(R) and CFDEM(R).

My questions:
Is it possible to do the coupling with foam-extend-3.2?
If so, is it normal to modify the WM_MPLIB variable and to comment the line in additionalLibs_3.2?

Any other information about the coupling with foam-extend-3.2 would be very helpfull.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Carlos
