Hello everyone,
I am just starting out in Butterfly’s OpenFOAM, and I managed to get some of the example files running, such as the indoor_airflow, atrium_buoyancy, and hvac. Yet, I am struggling to get the outdoor_airflow-example running properly.
After setting the “castellated mesh” to “false” (the solution runs extremely slow if I don’t do this), I run the simulation with no errors.
However, the Ux, Uy, Uz, and p-values are showing nothing, and upon inspecting my “report”, I see that the initial residual values are all “0”, which might explain why there are no results (at least, when I freeze Mr. Roudsari’s tutorial on YouTube, it says that the initial residual value on Uy is 1 in “Time step = 1”)
I am very unsure as to why this is happening, and hope for any clarification.
It is worth noting that I am running the butterfly version 0.0.05 with OpeanFOAM version 1806 through VM (I am unable to use the blueCFD-version as I am running Windows 7 (it seems other people are experiencing this as well).
I can’t upload the gh definition (as I am a “new user”?), but it is similar to the original in the example files except for the “toggle false” to the “castellated mesh”.
Thanks in advance and kind regards,
- J
EDIT:
If it’s worth anything, I’ve looked through most of what I could find regarding something similar, i.e. No errors but also no vectors, but without any results.
