When i made a cubic geometry by the following blockMesh file, and checkMesh, i receive 3 errors (please see below). When i run paraFoam, everything looks nice.
How can i solve this problem???

Best regards.

Hello Dear Ali
it may returns to face orientation in blockMesh, you can use cavity geometry to create yours
