Installation problems

Post by Michael_P »

Hi Oliver,
many thanks for the introduction to the CfDOF Workbench. They are very well done. I just finished the first one.
I just wanted to report a bug with the Gmsh function, when I saw that you posted a new commit a view hours earlier.
I just tried the new committ and finally the Gmsh function works!! Thank you very much!

I still have issues with the CFD workbench where the installation via the Addon manager gives me an error and there is an initiation error due to the `getmodulePath`in the InitGui.py. Could you assist me there as well?

thanks,
Michael

Thank you!

I wasn't able to reproduce your issue with the Addon manager. Please could you provide more information as detailed in these guidelines I just posted?

Re: CfdOF Workbench Training Material

Post by Michael_P »

Hi,
I installed freecad and CFDOf also on my PC where I have 8 cores for parallel processing. I have the same issues with the init.gui but more problematic is the issue with an error while trying to download CFMesh.

Exception: Error downloading cfMesh: [Errno socket error] [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:661)

I have searched the internet but cannot figure out why I have a certificate issue. I can downlaid CFMesh manually from the website without issues.

Can you recommend a way to install CFMesh manually?

I have installed CFD and CfDOF. However, CFD does not show.
The error relating to CfdOF appears to be because you have two directories, old_CfdOF and CfdOF, both of which FreeCAD is trying to load and they are colliding. Only the first is loaded (old_CfdOF). You would need to move this to another directory as it will try to load every module it finds in the Mod directory.

The error relating to CFD is possibly a bug in that workbench. I am not involved there so cannot comment.
Please provide all the information requested in this post before reporting problems with CfdOF.

Puzzling. Are you behind a proxy server by any chance?

It would be nice to add a way to pick the downloaded file yourself, but for now the following should hopefully work:
  • Save the downloaded file cfMesh-v1.1.2.tar.gz to C:\Program Files\blueCFD-Core-2016\ofuser-of4
  • Run 'BlueCFD core terminal' from the start menu
  • cd blueCFD/ofuser-of4
  • tar -xzf cfMesh-v1.1.2.tar.gz
  • ./buildCfMeshOnBlueCFD.sh

Hi,
thanks for the help.
However I get stuck at "tar -xzf cfMesh-v1.1.2.tar.gz"
The file from Github is a tgz. Even after renaming and performing "tar -xzf cfMesh-v1.1.2.tar.gz" I get

tar (child): cfMesh-v1.1.2.tar.gz: Cannot open:
No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now.

I am probably just to unskilled to do it right but I am giving up for the moment.

A wider internet search brought me to this forum "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/454 ... ify-failed" with some suggestions to overcome certification issues
I am not a programmer, hence I am not much of a help here.
thanks,
Michael

Hi,
still at installing cfMesh.
I finally was able to unzip the file.
However, now I am stuck at ./buildCfMeshOnBlueCFD.sh
I copied the file into the ofuser.of4 folder but I get syntax error due to line 7.

I also tried Allwmake (./Allwmake) but without success.
Could you please enlighten me what I should do?

thanks,
Michael

Could you paste the actual output that you get when you execute ./buildCfMeshOnBlueCFD.sh ?
