Stuck on "Collecting Mesh Info"

[dtlinker]

I am just starting out with BARAM on a Macbook Pro with M1 chip, running MacOs Sonoma 14.4.1.

I am stuck with BARAMmesh when generating a mesh. When I click generate, I get a dialog that says "Collecting Mesh Info" that never completes. I have left it overnight but it has no progress. I have it tried two different tutorials, and get stuck in the same place on both.

In case it is important, I also had a problem initially the generation of a mesh which failed, and I finally traced it to the program not finding libmpi.40.dylib even though I had installed it with HomeBrew. I solved that by copying libmpi.40.dylib into Frameworks in BARAMmesh.

Any idea why I am stuck on Collecting Mesh Info and what to do about it?

Thanks

Regarding "Collecting Mesh Info" issue, you may have an exception log in a file named "log.txt" in the project folder like following.

Please send me the file.

And for libmpi.40.dylib, BARAM assumes that Homebrew folder is /opt/homebrew/lib and /opt/homebrew/bin.
Do you have brew files there?

Thank you for your response.

I do not have a /opt/homebrew directory.

Hi @dtlinker,
As you might notice in the log file, mpirun command was not found in the PATH.

I'm a bit confused because you've already said that your machine was Macbook Pro with M1 chip.
Here M1 means ARM base Apple Silicon.
However, your brew setting shows macOS: 14.4.1-x86_64. Here x86_64 means Intel Silicon.

Please refer to Homebrew Installation page.

The script installs Homebrew to its default, supported, best prefix (/opt/homebrew for Apple Silicon, /usr/local for macOS Intel and /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew for Linux)

BARAM for macOS supports Apple silicon only for now.
Please check your hardware and brew again.
Thank you.

I'm suspecting that your geometry might have non English names.
Could you share your project for me to look into it?

Of course! I am just trying to work through the tutorial "Axi-symmetric Nozzle" for BARAMMesh.

Hello @dtlinker. This is Donggyu from NEXTFOAM and a colleague with @jiban.
I found the blank in your boundary name. And the reason why the problem happend was that (The blank in the boundary name).
I deleted blank in boundary name and check that baramMesh operated very well.
So could you try without blank?

Thank you very much
Best regards
