CFD Online Discussion Forums - R utility and turbulentIntensityKineticEnergyInlet BC

Hello All,

I ran a simulation using simpleFoam with the RNGkepsilon RAS model and everything worked fine. I then tried to determine the Reynolds-stresses using the R utility and I was given the message

Code:

FOAM exiting

I know that I could just change the boundary condition to one that it recognizes, but I was just curious why it clunked out. Im using

Build : 1.6-ext-bac14a9c3c34

Thanks for any input.
