Re: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) workbench using OpenFOAM
It would assist if you could from a Command Prompt run Path to give an output below, it would then prove that the folder containing the mpiexec.exe file is being correctly located (obviously it'll be in a different place to mine).
If the correct folder isn't in your path then it would be good to show a screenshot of the installed programs as per:
Hopefully that'll give everyone confidence that MPI is installed and is being called from the correct location.

@Michael
Have you updated the cfdof-wb?
There were several updates in the last months.
https://github.com/jaheyns/CfdOF
Have a look at the potentialFoam output:
Your values are all zero, potentialFoam calculates nothing...

I installed the latest version of CfdOF when I reinstalled FreeCAD. Sorry I do not unerstand but I do only get zeros
So what can I do?

Re: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) workbench using OpenFOAM
Sorry, finally understood your suggestions and now know how to update the workbench, so that is done for Plot and CfdOF.
Unfortunately, no change niether my own models or your suggested naca2412 finish with Simulation exited with error
During CfdOF run I receive a red error ? statement "openfoam: windows support (mingw64) is runtime only"
Regards,
Michael

Re: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) workbench using OpenFOAM
Can you rerun my testcase, save it under new name and post it?
Maybe I can figure out whats happened.

Re: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) workbench using OpenFOAM
No realy confused, still. Actually tried to run your case again and it worked fine that time. Actually stopped after 100 cycles and could see a result in Paraview. So decide to try again and leave it running. The rerun fails completely because it could not find a mesh so remeshed. This failed and resulted in
Now giving up and going back to my own cases after a restart, uninstalling and reinstalling FreeCAD and CfdOF etc.
Thanks,
Michael

You have been following thschrader's advice to re-install blueCFD; however, the error message above suggests you are still using the OpenCFD installation - this is a different Windows packaging of OpenFOAM than blueCFD. So all your reinstallations of blueCFD won't have any effect unless you tell CfdOF to use it. Do this by changing the OpenFOAM installation directory in Preferences to the location where you installed blueCFD, or alternatively, un-install the OpenFOAM installation and leave only the blueCFD one. CfdOF should then automatically use blueCFD if I remember correctly.
Please provide all the information requested in this post before reporting problems with CfdOF.
