Issue to run the CFD simulation in WE-UQ

[Mewtwo1124]

Hi,
I tried to run the Wind Load Evaluation on a Generic Isolated Building using CFD but the code stopped and gave the error

File "C:\Users\Tanmay\Downloads\WE-UQ_Windows_Download_2024-10-09 00-14-25\WE-UQ_Windows_Download\applications\createEVENT\IsolatedBuildingCFD\setup_case.py", line 1989
<<<<<<< HEAD
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

The other simulations run just fine but the ones with CFD fail giving the above error while creating the BlockMesh dictionary. I have attached the error file for your reference. Please let me know how to proceed.

Thanks for your interest in NHERI SimCenter applications!

System / OS information? I'm guessing you're on Windows 10?

@abiyfantaye , could you check the IsolatedBuildingCFD/setup_case.py file around line 1989?

If the bug is not derived from the Python script itself, I'd imagine it has to do with the Python application that is being pointed to in your File >> Preferences in-app, or something to do with the OpenFOAM setup for your system (check the WE-UQ install & run documentation).

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. My OS is Windows 11. I downloaded and installed OpenFOAM v10 as mentioned in the documentation and also the test case of 9 story building runs well. Please let me know how to proceed with this.
Thanks

Hi Tanmay,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention and for the detailed information.

We’ve identified the issue as being related to the backend Python script. As a quick fix and to keep you going with your work while we prepare a new release, you can modify your current setup as follows:

1. Navigate to your installation directory and locate the file: /applications/createEVENT/IsolatedBuildingCFD/setup_case.py

2. Edit the file by:

• Removing line 1249.

• Removing lines 1257 to 1262.

3. Save the file and rerun your model.

This should resolve the issue for now.

Also, we are planning to release an updated version of the WE-UQ application with a minor version update shortly, which will include a permanent fix for this issue. If this quick fix doesn't work, I am available for a Zoom meeting to help debug the issue. Please feel free to reach out, and we can schedule a time.

Thank you for your patience and interest in the tool! Please let us know if you encounter other problems as well.

Cheers,
Abiy

Hi Abiy, I tried the fix but still got the same error message. I have attached the error message and the setup_case.py file with changes you suggested. Please let me know how to proceed. Thanks Tanmay [image: image.png]

Hi Tanmay,

I'm sorry that you are still experiencing the same issue. We have built a new version of the WE-UQ tool with a bug fix. I've tested it on my Windows machine, and it works. Please use the following link and download the latest version: Download WE-UQ

Let me know if this fixes the issue.
