newer openfoam version compatible with NUFEB? #12

Hello,

The OpenFoam2.4.x is not compatible with my "Darwin" MacOS systems. "Your "Darwin" operating system is not supported by this release of OpenFOAM."

I think that this incompatibility is causing the following: "make[1]: /opt/local/bin//mpicxx: No such file or directory ./install-sedifoam.sh: line 91: wmake: command not found"

Can Nufeb use a newer version of OpenFoam? In your opinion would this fix the sedifoam install issue?

Thank you! Aubrie

NUFEB (SediFoam) unfortunately doesn't support a newer version of OpenFoam. But it seems the only way to run (any version of) OpenFoam on MacOS is to use Docker, as shown on its website. It should be able to use docker for running NUFEB+SediFoam+OpenFoam. But the OpenFoam docker script needs to be extended to include NUFEB and Sedifoam installations.

Great! How do I extend the docker script to include NUFEB and Sedifoam? Do you know of existing scripts/commands/tutorials to do this?

Sorry for the late reply. I think first you need to create a docker script for openfoam 2.4 installations. I couldn't find the script for version 2.4 on their website. Then in your docker file, download NUFEB and run install-sedifoam.sh
