HiSA and cfMesh install issues #54

Closed AaronDinesh closed 2 years ago

AaronDinesh commented 2 years ago

Hi I'm running windows 10 and I was trying to install cdfof on freecad. I used the buttons in the preferences panel to install all the dependencies. I put OpenFoam in a folder on my desktop and it's my understanding that HiSA and cfMesh are installed to the OpenFoam folder? But whenever I hit install it just installs the Zip file to the Temp directory. When running the dependency checker it takes a long time and then says that it couldn't find the HiSA or cfMesh install. Is there something I'm doing wrong? The OpenFoam folder on my desktop should be writeable

The zip file is downloaded to the temp folder but after that the files are supposed to be copied to the OpenFOAM folder. As a check, see if the file hisa.exe is present in the folder: \<OpenFOAM install folder>\OpenFOAM\v2012\msys64\home\ofuser\OpenFOAM\OpenFOAM-v2012\platforms\win64MingwDPInt32Opt\bin On my machine, \<OpenFOAM install folder> is C:\Program Files\ESI-OpenCFD

Providing the full output of the report view during the installation and dependency checking might give some clues to the problem. Please see https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=33492&sid=46ecce67e64dd844c01caa3334ee7cf5 for more tips.

Not sure but the long path name might be the culprit. I have moved the installed OpenFOAM folder from

which failed to recognize cfMesh/HiSA installation, to

and the dependency checker succeeds.
