OpenFoam Installation Issue Machine "default" is already stopped #360

Closed slrusso closed 5 years ago

slrusso commented 6 years ago

Hi All,

I have installed open foam, and had success in all steps from the installation video. I rand OF_Env_Create before running OpenFoam, and it was successful. However when I fun the actual Open Foam application, the message I receive is as follows:

openfoam

I am not a pro computer person, and don't know what the issue is. I am worried that perhaps my company computer defense software may have interfered. as the application OF_Env... and OpenFoam was blocked from running the first few times I tried (even when running as an administrator).

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated!

I think you may have a conflict about container. If so ,please open docker and type in： docker stop $(docker ps -a -q) and then type in： docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)

You should try using blueCFD and the upcoming release of Butterfly posted at the end of this issue: https://github.com/ladybug-tools/butterfly/issues/375#issuecomment-462976926 Basically all of our installation headaches have evaporated now that we are using blueCFD. Once we do the new Butterfly release, we can close out this issue for good.

hi did you solve this problem? When I opened OF_Env_Create, it showed the same error as yours.

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.
