CHT ccx_preCICE never starts computing

[kunstrasenspringer]

Hi,
I'm trying to work through the CHT-tutorial. I'm using docker to realize the tutorial. You can find the Dockerfile (Dockerfile.of-ccx) here. Openfoam starts and finishes to compute (I set the endTime to 20.0), but ccx_preCICE starts and never ends. If I tail Solid.log, I get following output:

Read data 'Sink-Temperature-Inner-Fluid' found.
Read data 'Heat-Transfer-Coefficient-Inner-Fluid' found.
Write data 'Sink-Temperature-Solid' found.
Write data 'Heat-Transfer-Coefficient-Solid' found.
Read data 'Sink-Temperature-Outer-Fluid' found.
Read data 'Heat-Transfer-Coefficient-Outer-Fluid' found.
Write data 'Sink-Temperature-Solid' found.
Write data 'Heat-Transfer-Coefficient-Solid' found.
(0) 17:58:30 [impl::SolverInterfaceImpl]:213 in initialize: Setting up master communication to coupling partner/s

This happens in 'sequentiell' (./Allrun) and in 'parallel' (./Allrun_parllel). Also tried to start the simulation with 3 seperate terminals and manually typed commands, same outcome.

The setup:
OS: ubuntu 18.04
preCICE: 1.0.3
ccx: 2.12
ccx-adapter: 2.12
openfoam: 5.x-197d9d3bf20a
openfoam-adapter: commit 36852e081022b3d58c489643e8ac48a3b92a0fea

Can somebody help me?
Best regards.

Hi @kunstrasenspringer,

this looks like the OpenFOAM function object is not loaded, which usually means that there is some linking problem. Check the ldd.log that must have been produced when you built the adapter to see what is going wrong.

Best regards,

Hi Makis,

Thank you for the quick reponse!
You are right. I checked ldd.log and it says: ldd: /libpreciceAdapterFunctionObject.so: No such file or directory. What do I have to do next?

Best regards,

This looks like your ${FOAM_USER_LIBBIN} is not defined when you compile the adapter. This should be already defined if you have loaded the OpenFOAM environment. But then it wouldn't even compile, does it? Is there anything suspicious in the wmake.log?

Do you load the $FOAM_ETC/bashrc file after installing OpenFOAM? You can find this in the OpenFOAM installation instructions.

I did load $FOAM_ETC/bashrc in the Dockerfile, but ${FOAM_USER_LIBBIN} wasn't set. It never compiled and did not complained, so I thought everything went right. Now i load it in combination with ./Allwmake and it is set, but now i have an other error dependent on yaml:

I think that we should continue the discussion on Gitter, as this is actually multiple problems combined and not an issue with the tutorial. Closing this for now, please contact me (even privately if you prefer) there and send me your Dockerfile. :-)
