SnappyHexMesh Tutorial

I tried to run snappyHexMesh in the same way proposed by the Spoken-Tutorial. But I am getting the Error like this: snappyHexMesh: symbol lookup error: /home/suman/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-v1612+/platforms/linux64GccDPInt32/lib/openmpi-system/libptscotcherrexit.so: undefined symbol: lam_mpi_comm_world Please let me know if you have a solution for it. Thank you very much. Regards, Ankur

Hey Ankur, That error means that you do not have the MPI library built properly or it is mis-configured. I would suggest you try to install OpenMPI by typing -

  • sudo apt-get install libopenmpi-dev

And then re-install OpenFOAM.

Please let me know if that works. Also, could you let me know your Operating System details?

It seems like your Third party libraries have not been built properly. Could you tell me how you installed OpenFOAM? By using the Ubuntu package manager or from source?

From Source

Have you tried rebuilding your Third Party libraries, and let me know if it is still not working?


02-04-17, 9:19 p.m. anmolsahoo

I will try that tomorrow and let you know. Thank you so much!!

Hi Anmol,

I tried rebuilding the Third Party Libraries first by putting these commands in Terminal:
./Allclean
./Allwmake
It said: Build Successful
I hope, It's fine?
After that, Again While I am trying to run snappyHexMesh, it gives me the Same Error.

Hey,

It seems like you have conflicting versions of OpenMPI on your system. Could you copy-paste the output of these following commands -
mpiexec --version
mpirun --version
mpicc --version

Hi Anmol,

Thank you for reverting back to me. These are the outputs from The Above three Commands:
mpiexec (OpenRTE) 1.10.2,
mpirun (Open MPI) 1.10.2,
gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4) 5.4.0 20160609

So, most of your settings seem in place and I am not able to reproduce the issue. As of now, I would suggest you try installing OpenFOAM 4.0 from the openfoam.org website and let me know if that works.

Meanwhile I will try to find out what the issue is with this.


03-04-17, 4:42 p.m. anmolsahoo

Oh. That's perfectly fine, Anmol. I will try with OpenFOAM 4.0 and let you know. Thank you so much!!
