Help with Groundwater Module (Richards Equation) – Unable to Run Simple Example
Posted: Thu May 15, 2025 7:24 pm
Hello,
I’ve been trying to set up a simple simulation using the groundwater module (Richards equation), but unfortunately haven’t been able to get it running successfully despite everything.
So far, I've used the cs_user_parameters.cpp and cs_user_parameters_cdo_gwf.cpp examples as templates, tried compiling the case using different methods and configurations (via GUI and command line), and experimented with varying setups of mesh and boundary condition definitions.
Despite the compilation, I couldn't get them to run.
For instance, I have set up a simple Cartesian modular mesh using a GUI and tried both the GUI-supported groundwater module (version 8.0) and the shell-based one (version 8.3). I have also tried the documentation around it, but to no avail.
I was wondering if there would be a more straightforward example or instruction to make the simplest setup run, so that I could build up from there.
Kind regards,
Farshid
