No visualize Mesh #342

Closed Lainee03 closed 5 years ago

Lainee03 commented 6 years ago

Hello,

I recently started with Butterfly and i am coming accross an issue. no visualize mesh OpenFOAM works fine, blockmesh seems to work but shows an error , and can not retrace to the blockmesh.log file None of the files in C:\Users\EBD\butterfly\outdoor_airflow\log were created and C:\Users\EBD\butterfly\outdoor_airflow\constant\polyMesh is also empty. Consequently i can not visualize the Mesh.

Any advice on where can the issue be ? Thank you in advance for your time

@Lainee03, try the new installer and blueCFD. Based on the error message your blockMesh command fails before running and that is why there is no log file.

We just posted a new version of Butterfly for Grasshopper that works with BlueCFD-Core and does not need Docker and VM installation. Try the steps below to install the new version.

  1. Try downloading the newer version 0.0.05 from Food4Rhino. Use the installer file to remove the old version and install the new one.
  2. Install BlueCFD-core following this link.
  3. Restart both Rhino and Grasshopper and try one of the updated sample files that comes with Butterfly installation package.

Feel free to open a new issue if it didn't solve the problem.
