Hello Everyone,
I recently downloaded OpenFoam for windows from the CFD support download section and the installation went effortlessly. But when I tried to run the cavity simulation following the CFDSUPPORT training pdf, I faced the bash: blockMesh.exe: command not founderror. The frustrating part is I managed to get it running yesterday and finished the cavity test case, but today I cannot recreate what I did. In the installation folder, there are bash files in the D:\OpenFoam\20.09\cygwin64\etc and D:\OpenFoam\20.09\cygwin64\opt\OpenFOAM\OpenFOAM-dev\etc I think the error is related to sourcing the bash file. But I am not sure as the training documents mention for windows the sourcing is done automatically.
Please help me out here as I am an absolute beginner in using OpenFoam or Linux environment. If anyone can provide the steps common to all simulation set-up and starting the OpenFOAM, I will be more grateful.
