Re: unable to use cfd analysis
I think that the missing MPI, cfMesh and HiSA might be the issue. Concerning MPI, there a lot of threads in this sub-forum. Concerning installation of cfMesh and HiSA, you can take a look at my first video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS4sbbBtZUw&t=369s
cfMesh and HiSa are compiled, this lasts very, very long. You can check the result in the log-files, please refer to my tutorial. In the tutorial, the "old" version of openFoam (blueCfd) was used, that has changed now to ESI-OpenFoam.
For openFoam for windows, there are 2 versions available: The version v2012 and the version v2206. If you install the version v2206, please make sure that each path is set correct.

I'm asuming you installed this one: https://www.openfoam.com/download/openf ... ompilation
which says:

meaning you can't install hisa or cfmesh on it if I'm not mistakenThis version does not support compilation of OpenFOAM or dynamic code

Re: unable to use cfd analysis
That's not actually the case. We provide pre-compiled binaries for this platform.adrianinsaval wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 6:59 pm I'm asuming you installed this one: https://www.openfoam.com/download/openf ... ompilation
