Hi,
I am learning how to use OpenFoam and I am really lost right now. I created a 3D mesh file using gmesh (based on a scilab script to generate a geo file with NACA dat file). I created a case directory under the simpleFoam airFoil2D directory, but after the simpleFoam command on a terminal I get this error . PHP Code:
PHP Code:
thanks in advance |

Hi;
the solver is looking for FrontAndBack and is not finding it in your pressure boundary condition because it states frontAndBack instead. Always remember that openFoam is case sensitive so you need to change that to a capital initial word: FrontAndBack. |

You're right !!thank you for this quick answer. In fact, I had to do some changes in the boundary file under the polyMesh directory to make the keywords match. I guess I have to learn how to make programs with C++ to be more efficient with OF.

you have to make sure that the keyword s1 is defined in all the files, here it seems that you didn't define it in the file "/home/xr12/Anna/buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam/hotRoom_20/0/p_rgh"
