XsimはFoundation版のOpenFOAMでの設定であり、ESI版のOpenFOAMで計算させたい場合はXsimでエクスポートした設定ファイルでは設定ファイルの記述方法が、Foundation版とESI版では微妙に異なるため計算エラーが出ます。
ただ、全く参考にできないのかというとそうではなく、Xsimでエクスポートした設定ファイルを参考にESI版に書き換えるのは割と簡単にできます。
本記事は熱流体の非定常解析を例にどれくらいFoundation版とESI版とで異なるのかを見ています。
おそらくを変更するだけで良いだろうということがわかりました。
- 特徴線の設定
- snappyHexMeshの設定
- 計算制御の設定
※Foundation版も最新版だとかなり変更があるようですので、比較的ESI版との差異が少ない古いバージョンOpenFOAM10のFoundation版をエクスポートしました。
モデル作成
- FreeCADでモデル作成→stlファイルをエクスポート
- OpenFOAMの設定はXsimで行う
以上の手順は以下のスライドにまとめています。
以下はFoundation版（Xsim）とESI版の比較になります。

ご覧の通りほとんど同じです。
特徴線の抽出：surfaceFeaturesDict
これが一番変わっているかもしれません。
そもそもファイル名が違います。
