Dear Team, 

I am trying to run a simulation of the FDA Benchmark Blood Pump case with TCAE. I am using my meshes that I have generated by myself (not via TMESH). 

The project case setup seems to be fine, and I get the message "Project Setup OK" upon checking. However, when I start the TCFD run, I get the following error message after a while - 

"--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:

Cannot open include file "C:/Users/KaranBaliga/Desktop/TCAE/GridPro Blood Pump/Fluent_Grids_GridPro/GridPro_Blood_Pump/simulationRun1/TCFD/transient/1_1/system/hi.fun" while reading dictionary "C:/Users/KaranBaliga/Desktop/TCAE/GridPro Blood Pump/Fluent_Grids_GridPro/GridPro_Blood_Pump/simulationRun1/TCFD/transient/1_1/system/controlDict/functions"

From function static bool Foam::functionEntries::includeEntry::execute(Foam::dictionary&, Foam::Istream&)

in file db/dictionary/functionEntries/includeEntry/includeEntry.C at line 169.

FOAM exiting"

I do not know why this error occurs. Can you please help me out?

If required I can attach the case files as well. 

Thanks and Regards,

Magnus Effect - A phenomenon that is commonly associated with a spinning object moving through the air. Compared to the non-spinning object, the spinning one produces a significant lift force. We tested this phenomenon in the study of the aerodynamics of rotating and non-rotating balls with TCFD back in 2016.

An exhaust manifold is an important part of every combustion engine that collects the exhaust gases from multiple cylinders into one pipe. The gas flow in the manifold can be extensively analyzed and optimized by CFD analysis. Have a look at an example of an aerodynamic analysis of exhaust manifold simulation by TCFD. https://youtu.be/EIn2oUIX6VM

As you know, at CFDSUPPORT, we are obsessed with the accuracy of CFD results. Accuracy is our highest priority. We believe that every successful engineering project is a result of focus, skills, experience, patience, and dedication (not random actions in a rush). We constantly keep tracking the accuracy and create comparisons of CFD with real physical measurements. Have a look at this Centrifugal Compressor Benchmark. This project was undertaken jointly by CFDSUPPORT in collaboration with CZ a.s. (compressor manufacturer). The aim of the benchmark validation was to evaluate the TCFD software and compare its simulation results with the compressor measurement data.
