Problem with S-Duct Example for Coupling CAESES

Have looked into it and have made some progress already. Thank you for your help!

[Problem with S-Duct Example for Coupling CAESES]

Hello Everybody,

I am currently trying to follow the s-duct tutorial to get started with using openFOAM and CAESES

However, when I am trying to launch the runner in step 10, openFOAM throws the following error:

 

 

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR: 

Unknown simulationType RASModel

 

Valid simulation types:

 

3

(

LES

RAS

laminar

)

 

from the 

 

constant/turbulenceProperties

 

file. Apparently the syntax of openFOAM has changed in the most recent versions. However when I simply change the simulation type to RAS instead of RASModel I get a different error:

 

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 

keyword RAS is undefined in dictionary "/home/jl2579/CAESES_4.3.1_Linux.x86_64/MyProjects/sduct_OpenFOAM_CFD/manual_results/baseline/Runner/constant/turbulenceProperties"

 

file: /home/jl2579/CAESES_4.3.1_Linux.x86_64/MyProjects/sduct_OpenFOAM_CFD/manual_results/baseline/Runner/constant/turbulenceProperties

 

    From function Foam::dictionary& Foam::dictionary::subDict(const Foam::word&)

    in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 422.

 

FOAM exiting

 

I know I probably have to edit some files and update the syntax, but since I am new to caesis, openFOAM and CFD simulation in general I am quite lost at the moment. Can anybody help me out?

 

cheers,

Johann

[Font Size and Perspective Camera]

Thank you for your help, I managed to fix the font size issue by myself in the meantime!

The camera position is not what I was looking for, but thanks Joerg for showing me the project tab.

Indeed the orthographic camera is difficult to handle and has completely different mouse control - how do you zoom in and out ( meaning moving the camera back and forth) in this view? I guess I am going to stick with the orthographic projection until the implementation is improved ( ideally with the same controls as the default camera and an adjustable FOV )

CAESES is awesome btw, everything feels incredibly well thought trough, the interface is clean, organized and not too overwhelming for newbies, and I am amazed how easily complex geometrical operations are performed.

cheers,

[Font Size and Perspective Camera]

Hello Everyone,

I just started out using caeses and installed it on my linux laptop.

However the font  in the documentation browser is extremely tiny and I can't seem to find any setting in the options to change that, or am I missing something? I do have a high dpi display, so maybe that is an issue.

Also I was wondering where to set the camera properties since I do perfer perspective instead of orthographic projection since it gives me visually more depth information and is more natural.

Thank you for any responses!
