Problem with FreeCAD CFDOF Solver
I am trying to predict the torque and the pressure rise across a rotating fan inside a box using FreeCAD CFDOF solver. The model seems to be fine. A mesh has been generated without any problem. Can someone with CFD experience look at my model and see why the solver stops with the following message. I have also attached the simulation file for your review.
Thanks in advance.
Windows: 10, x64 with 4 parallel cores
FreeCAD: 0.20.2
OPENFOAM: 2206

How do I switch it to one processor. Newbie here. Thanks
Re: Problem with FreeCAD CFDOF Solver
Select the solver at the object tree and set Parallel to false.

Thanks, Herbk. That was an easy one. Will give it a try
Re: Problem with FreeCAD CFDOF Solver
It’s working now. Thanks to Herbk. Wish I could use all my cores to speed up the run. Any suggestions here?
Re: Problem with FreeCAD CFDOF Solver
No...
It's since a while, - me and others have the same prob.

Re: Problem with FreeCAD CFDOF Solver
One more question Herbk. How do you get the fan torque and pressure at the inlet or outlet?

Re: Problem with FreeCAD CFDOF Solver
Thanks, Oliver. Two related questions!
1. Will installation openmpi cause any problem with other software utilizing parallel cores on my computer?
2. Why I am not getting post processing folder after a successful run? I see other folders like “constant and system”.
Thanks again
