STL file not valid for some examples in version 1.8

[eulerboiler]

I have just installed version 1.8 of OpenLB and tried running the nozzle3d and centrifugalPump3d examples, both did not run with the following.

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  STL File not valid.

I saw a similar question posted on this forum some while ago, and the problem there was that the stl file needed to be copied from a diffent example into the working folder. But I can not find such stl files for this case.

nozzle3d ran without an issue in 1.7
cylinder3d along with some other 2d examples I have tried ran without an issue.

I am new to OpenLB, sorry if this is a silly question.

The STL file for the centrifugal pump case is indeed missing from the release tarball. For the moment you can download it on Gitlab.

As for the nozzle case: This case doesn’t use a STL at all so it would be very weird for it to throw that error. Did you mean to refer to some other example?

OK that’s good to know, I am still just picking up how it all works and was worried if I was still missing a crucial concept.

About the nozzle case, that is very strange then I will make sure to check again after the weekend.

I checked again and nozzle3d works fine, I must have just misremebered.
Sorry for the confusion.

@Adrian

it is the example pipeWithValve3d in forBeginners folder that is missing the .stl file

Tomorrow there will be an update of the release, where the missing STL files will be either directly in the directory or there will be a link where the files can be downloaded.
