Wind Engineering (WE-UQ) / Issues with Wind Loads on Isolated Building (weuq-0013)
« on: September 19, 2023, 03:53:47 PM »
Hello,
I faced multiple problems with initiating the CFD case for the Isolated Building while following the instructions on this case. I am using WE-UQ version 3.0.1. I was able to create the BlockMesh and snappyHexMesh locally. I am using the LES with the Samagrinsky model. Once I finished defining all the variables in this case, I ran the case using DesignSafe.
I received an error, which I have attached here. Basically, the error says that in k file, the building is defined as symmetry, which needs to be defined as a wall (i.e., wall function). I am not even sure why I need k file if I use the Samagrinsky model, but this is not the issue I want to address here.
I tried to modify it manually to run the case to avoid the issue. However, once I save the OpenFOAM files using the icon or run the model in DesingSafe, the file keeps overwriting the 0/ file, which is the problem here.
Please let me know how to fix this issue so that I can run the model, and please let me know if there is any way to run the model again after I modify the case in the server.
I found more bugs as well related to this case maybe they can be addressed with the release of the new version.
1 - I can't run this case locally. I have tried to run it in series and parallel. Other cases can run fine except the weuq-0013.
2- In EVT --> CFD - wind loads on Isolated building --> Numerical setup, If I changed the simulation type from LES, I got the wrong model for the LES and RANS. The RANS model seems to take over the options for LES and vice versa. photo attached
Thanks!
