fatal error: alphaContactAngleFvPatchScalarField.H: No such file or directory

[maryamfatehifar]

Dear foamers,
I have been trying to install the vofsmooth on foam-extend 4.0, but I receive errors when executing wmake command. The fatal error I received is "fatal error: alphaContactAngleFvPatchScalarField.H: No such file or directory". I would appreciate it if you could help me resolve the issue.

Here is the output:

interfaceProperties.C:27:49: fatal error: alphaContactAngleFvPatchScalarField.H: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

Dear Maryam
I got exactly the same error(I have of6, of9 and of2112) and I tested in all;

I knew that this code has been developed for ;

but one of my friends said that he has compiled this code for OF1812 so I was testing it for other versions, but apparently it has only below options;

do you have any suggestion?

Thanks,
Farzad

Hi Farzad,
The error says it can't find the alphaContactAngleFvPatchScalarField.H file, because the address to this file in Make/options is wrong. You need to find that file in your OpenFOAM version and change the address in the Make/options.
If I remember correctly, I managed to solve the above error, but I got another error and finally had to install of40.
After that, instead of using the above solver, to reduce the parasitic currents and improve the curvature, I tried coupling level-set with VOF and found this solver: https://github.com/Venky-94/sclsVofFoam-OpenFoam9, which I managed to install on OF9 and OF2012 successfully.
