| Summary | 0002419: option - postProcess does not work with icoFoam | ||||
| Description | If you try to compute wallShearStress as follows; icoFoam -postProcess -func wallShearStress -latestTime You get this error --> FOAM FATAL ERROR: Wrong number of arguments, expected 0 found 1 Invalid option: -postProcess Invalid option: -func Invalid option: -latestTime FOAM exiting I am using as an alternative pisoFoam which works ok. | ||||

icoFoam does not include the -postProcess option. It is really just a demonstration solver. pisoFoam and pimpleFoam can do everything icoFoam can but additionally use the turbulence and transport model libraries. You could not post-process wallShearStress with icoFoam anyway because it does not instantiate a turbulence model. |

Maybe it can be helpful to add a comment somewhere about the limited capabilities of this solver (and other solvers). I used it because I needed to setup a function object for another case with a large mesh, and icofoam is the simplest solver to setup. Now I will change my template to pisoFoam. |
