OpenFoam Runtime Error

I am trying to evaluate FEATool through several of the test case problems. In particular, I am trying to run the example problem Flow Around a Cylinder using OpenFoam as the solver. This test case completes fine using FEATool's built-in solver and SU2 but when trying to solve with OpenFoam, the first line in the execution window is:

Could not start app simpleFoam

However, the simulation does start and run to completion with the last line of the log file:
ExecutionTime = 1.906 s  ClockTime = 2 s
 
SIMPLE solution converged in 194 iterations
 
End

However, the error prevents the solution results from being updated into the Post viewer. I have tried putting the exact path location of the simpleFoam.exe file into the Solver field but get the same error with the full path displayed. There must be a simple fix for this issue but I am stuck. Any help would be appreciated so I can proceed with my evaluation.

Here is the output from the System Info if that helps:

Hi,

Thank you for reporting the issue and attaching detailed information. It is quite odd that the solver seems to run but report cannot find the simpleFoam solver. Possilby it could be a timing/sync issue, will have to investigate closer and report back later.

To follow up on this, the issue with OpenFOAM starting but FEATool indicating that is has not, has been identified to a (start) file flag that for some reason is either not written (unlikely as there likely would be more issues)  or deleted prematurely (by perhaps a late triggered post solve cleanup function). A few mitigations have been implemented in the codebase, which will be available in the next release, scheduled this February sometime.

In the meantime, I would suggest trying either on a different computer system, or in a virtual machine, as the issue seems specific to your system (we have not been able to reproduct it on any of our tests systems). Thanks again for reporting it.
