Problems installing cfmesh / HISA over dependencies

[Sidemountyucatan]

Hi,

I know this or similar problem was posted before but I dind't get a clue how to solve. With Freecad 18 and 19 prel I have problems to install cfmesh for CfdOf WB over dependencies. My installed Freecad Versions are:

OS: Windows 10 (10.0)
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.19.22960 (Git)
Build type: Release

Python version: 3.8.6
Qt version: 5.12.5

OCC version: 7.4.0

OS: Windows 10
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.18.4 (GitTag)
Build type: Release
Branch: releases/FreeCAD-0-18

Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.3.0
Locale: German/Switzerland (de_CH)

Error-Code on Freecad 0.19.22960 when try to install cfmesh and HISA is:

Downloading cfMesh, please wait...
cfMesh downloaded to C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp\tmplbbaabg1.zip

Its exactly the same. Starting in Safe Mode and execute Freecad as administrator didn't work. Thats very frustrating. Is there any meaningful solution for this problem ?

:?

My guess is there is a problem with the OpenFOAM Docker installation. Please follow the tips in the link below to make sure this is working properly before even starting FreeCAD. If you don't get any joy with that, you can try using blueCFD instead.

Thx for answer. you spoke about a link but there is none ?

If changing to bluecfd how is the procedure to install it ?


Thx for your feedback.

Thx for your feedback.

I was referring to the link in my signature at the bottom. Please read that carefully as well as the readme.

CfdOF tries to make the procedure of installing OpenFOAM convenient, but ultimately it is just a frontend to OpenFOAM and so, as a first step to debugging any problems with CfdOF, you do need to make sure your installation of OpenFOAM is actually working. It is extremely popular and there are plenty of resources on the internet that can help.

If changing to bluecfd how is the procedure to install it ?

Download the 2017-2 version from
http://bluecfd.github.io/Core/Downloads/
Installation is easy, run setup.exe.
After installation, open FC and in preferences set all path and install the rest (hisa/cfmesh)

bluecfd is a little bit outdated, but for my purpose it fits very well.

Thx thschrader,

when you say "set all path and install the rest (hisa/cfmesh)" you mean set the path for blucfd - setup.exe to the URL: window for openfoam installation in the dependencies ?

The rest can be kept default right ?

Thx

[thschrader]

first install bluecfd
then set path to bluecfd/openfoam folder,
not to the setup exe.
you should do a new installation of cfmesh and hisa,
because they will be put into the bluecfd folder.

Thx for your support. After installing bluecfd and all the other advices you gave the result is the following:
