Solver-Error

[Praktikant8]

Hi there,

i shortly started working with FreeCAD due to its CDF-Module, i need it for my work. Since i don't know nothing about FreeCAD and CFD i started working through some tutorials, learning by doing....I tried to reproduce a tutorial i found online but in the end i had to deal with an error of the solver. The output of the solver is:

0.0: Checking dependencies...
0.0: OpenFOAM case writer is called
0.0: Error writing case:
0.0: 'FeaturePython' object has no attribute 'ShapeFaceNames'
0.0: Write case setup file failed

I don't know what this means and how to solve it.
It would be great if you were able to help me.
I attached a Screenshot of the output and linked the website where i found the tutorial.

Could you please save and share the FreeCAD file that is giving you this issue?

[Praktikant8]

Sure, here you go

Thanks. We have just refactored the meshing code extensively. Please update the workbench using Addon manager, and then try again. You will need to delete and re-create the mesh object due to the changes. Let me know if this sorts out the problem - it works for me, but I am using v0.17 of FreeCAD - maybe there is an issue that only comes up in 0.18.

Posted in help-forum too.
Praktikant, your model is to small, factor 1000.

Hi Praktikant,
I ran your "scaled-down" tutorial.
Use this parameters:
gmsh-meshing: max element size 1 mm
Inlet 1 vx=500 mm/s (you gave in 1 mm)
Inlet 2 vy=300 mm/s
Outlet ok
wall (the yellow one) = noSlip
wall001=slip

In the data-tab of openfoam you can set the solver-options.

Hi guys,

thanks to all of you, especially to thschrader. I corrected the parameters you told me, ran the solver and now it is working. I'm so glad that i can now move on and try to solve other tasks (maybe you will hear from me in a while having another problem). Also thanks for the useful YT-links.
