I tried to use timeVaryingMappedFixedValue for my inlet velocities. I wanted to set different velocity values for each time step of my simulation (in this case, deltaT = 0.0002 s).

I created the directories and files in constant/boundaryData/inlet/:

constant/boundaryData/inlet/points
constant/boundaryData/inlet/0/U
constant/boundaryData/inlet/0.0002/U
constant/boundaryData/inlet/0.0004/U
constant/boundaryData/inlet/0.0006/U
(…)

However, when I run the case, I have a problem at the first time step:

Starting time loop

Time = 0.0002

Courant Number mean: 0 max: 0.241854


--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR : cannot open file

file: …/run/ExpeCylinder1uP7/constant/boundaryData/inlet/0.0004 at line0.

From function regIOobject::readStream(const word&)
in file db/regIOobject/regIOobjectRead.C at line 66.

FOAM exiting


It runs nevertheless if I only provide the directory "constant/boundaryData/inlet/0" (constant values).
I have the same problem with pitzDailyExptInlet when I try to use it with several time directories: the simulation stopps at the first time step with a similar error message.

I switched on the debug flag for timeVaryingMappedFixedValue. I obtain:

Thank you very much if you can find what the problem is,

Forgot to copy the fieldName (so 'U') in the boundary condition implementation. You'll need to replace

fields/fvPatchFields/derived/timeVaryingMappedFixedValue/timeVaryingMappedFixedValueFvPatchField.C

in the finiteVolume library with attached version and recompile the library ('wmake libso').

timeVaryingMappedFixedValueFvPatchField.C
