I'm new to both CAESES and OpenFOAM and in addition to that intended to use OpenFOAM in Windows. So all the elements to create troubles present :rolleyes:. I've installed OpenFOAM for Windows from http://www.openfoam.com/download/install-windows.php which is using Oracle VM + Docker. OpenFOAM can be operated from the shell.
I've done some fiddling around with CAESES but at the point needing to actually solve something I'd need serious help.
Now, I've tried to couple CAESES to OpenFOAM but am struggling. I've tried the above post as starting point and example but it seems that the differences between Cygwin and Docker are the issue.
Has anyone coupled these sets already and could the solution be shared please? I would appreciate answers for dummies (as being one myself :)).
If it helps to start answering, I've modified the LocalApplication of the 1st post to have C:/Program Files (x86)/ESI/OpenFOAM/1606/Windows/Scripts/start_OF.bat file executed instead of "mintty.exe" to call the OpenFOAM. Would this be a totally wrong way to go?
Some modifications had to be made also to Allrun.sh as the OpenFOAM version seems to be different (v1606+).
