Title: Unable to select pimpleFoam in WE-UQ
Post by: stan_lw on October 21, 2021, 04:56:06 AM

The Documentation (https://nheri-simcenter.github.io/WE-UQ-Documentation/common/user_manual/usage/desktop/wind/CFDExpert.html) states that we can choose pisoFoam, icoFoam or pimpleFoam, but at the EVT Solver drop-down list, I can only choose either pisoFoam or icoFoam (see attached screenshot). How do we select "pimpleFoam" instead of "pisoFoam"? Thank you.

Can you confirm what version you are running as it should be in version 2.2.0. If you are running v2.2.0 can you confirm what operating system you are using and I will test on that OS. thanks and sorry for the confusion

Mine version 2.1.0. I downloaded the application again from https://www.designsafe-ci.org/data/browser/public/designsafe.storage.community/SimCenter/Software/WE_UQ, but it is still version 2.1.0. As I am using Windows, I selected the "WE-UQ_Windows_Download.zip", the other one named "WE-UQ_Mac_Download.dmg" is for Mac OS I presume (see attached screenshot).

I have updated WE-UQ for windows. That option should be now available. Version should say 2.2.0

I have upgraded WE-UQ for users of the Windows operating system. This option ought should be open for selection at this time. The correct version number for this is 2.2.0.
