5 years ago I'm very sorry that you had to go through all this. Here is hopefully a better solution for the future.
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.
- Try downloading the newer version 0.0.05 from Food4Rhino. Use the installer file to remove the old version and install the new one.
- Install BlueCFD-core following this link.
- 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.
After Spending a loooooong weekend having a lot of issue trying to solve the problem for someone in a master thesis I finnally found a solution to install and launch examples files :
My PC is on Windows 10 all up to date !
First : Be sure to uninstall everything : -Virtual Box -Docker Toolbox -Openfoam -Ubuntu installation ( for those who tried to use the native w10 version ) -Rhino -EVERYTHING
Next : Be sure to delete all the folders in Programs Files / Program files x86 for everything in the top list .
( if they don't exist it's good too )
Next : In C:\Users\ :
Delete : the folders ".docker" & ".virtualbox" --> If they don't appear just google how to make hidden folder appear :)
Next : In %appdata% ( type it in the file explorer adress bar ) : Delete :
Restart your PC , do a Ccleaner cleanup ( that never hurt ) and then : Download : Docker toolbox : https://download.docker.com/win/stable/DockerToolbox.exe Vbox ( the last version is this one when i'm writing that ) https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.2.14/VirtualBox-5.2.14-123301-Win.exe ( OpenFoam 1612 ) https://sourceforge.net/projects/openfoamplus/files/v1612+/OpenCFD-OpenFOAM4WindowsInstaller_v1612+.exe Rhino 6 with your licence : https://www.rhino3d.com/6 Butterfly 0.0.4 https://www.food4rhino.com/app/ladybug-tools
When you have everything ready and cleaned you can start.
So : Install everything with Admin rights : ( this order is good :) )
Launch VirtualBox as Admin & Rhino 6 As admin too.
Open the example File and put all the toggles at True and you are ready to go if there are No more bugs !
Sorry If it's not written properly but it's working on my PC like that :)
Hope it can help you guys !
