Brief history.
First install of FC about four or five days ago.
I removed and re-installed FC three days ago
(it crashed w/o message when I pushed a button)
(FC offered to recover at restart, but that failed - and FC would not restart again)
Another crash-after-button-push the next day resulted in a successful recovery.
No crashes since.
Yesterday I installed the CFDof workbench using the addon mgr.
End history.
This is my first attempt to run a CFD analysis with FreeCAD. I'm trying to do the elbow tutorial.
Things seem to work fine 'til I try to build the mesh.
From the CFD Mesh | Status window in the Combo View | Task tab
Code: Select all
0.0: Starting meshing ...
0.0: Exporting mesh region data ...
0.0: Error: OpenFOAM installation path not set and not found
Error is still there.
