Anne,

Thank you for the feedback and especially thanks for the screenshots.

I do have an idea on what is causing the issue but need a quick test to confirm.  Would you be so kind and try one thing for me: disconnect the second screen and relaunch EE-UQ.  Does that fit properly on your screen then? 

Thanks,
Peter

Azing,

Would you be so kind to share/attach your OpenSees input file so we can run it ourselves for debugging?

Thanks,
Peter

The issue appears to be that directional parameters in InflowProperties must be provided or the code runs into numeric exceptions (1/0 or 0/0).

Workaround:

• Use the InflowProperties file provided in a post above

TODO:

• The OpenFOAM library needs to set sensible default values
• The OpenFOAM library needs to provide human readable error messages instead of just crashing (all modules)

stan,

I am not sure if I have the correct set of your files, but the ones I've got from Frank appear to have one missing file: constant/inflowProperties (not saying that this is the only issue.  Might be in our code, too)

I suggest changing 0/U to include:

    inlet
    {
        type               turbulentDFMInlet;
        filterType         gaussian;
        filterFactor       4;
        gridFactor         1;
        perodicInY         false;
        perodicInZ         true;
        cleanRestart       false;
        calculateU         true;
        calculateL         true;
        calculateR         true;
        value    $internalField;
    }

and add the attached file to constant/.  That file was generated using the SimCenter TInF tool.  The CFD Expert in WE-UQ uses the same engine and should generate the same input file.

Please let me know if that got you any further.  I am available to zoom Friday afternoon or most days next week.

1) as for uname:

uname is a command, -a is an option to this command.  You need to type  the word uname followed by a space followed by -a.  The output is a string with all the necessary system details.  The gz files are manual pages to be viewed using

man uname

2) the real issue: OpenFoam. 

Your description is very helpful.  It looks like a version incompatibility that requires a fix in the code.   We are looking into this ASAP and keep you informed.  Most likely, we will release source for OpenFoam 6 and one for OpenFoam 7.

Thank you for your patience

Hi all,
Could you please post 1-3 sentences (or keywords) that best describe your expectations for the Programming Bootcamp? 
Thanks!
