Error after typing blockMesh

fshak92 · June 30, 2012, 06:44

Hello

Typing "blockMesh" the "blockMeshDict" folder of both the tutorial "cavity" and "pitzDayly" gives me these errors in spite of having controlDict in the system folder:

file: /home/omid/OpenFOAM/omid-2.1.1/run/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity/constant/polyMesh/system/controlDict at line 0.

From function regIOobject::readStream()
in file db/regIOobject/regIOobjectRead.C at line 73.

FOAM exiting

I would appreciate if anyone has an idea or suggestion regarding the mentioned error.

Hi omid88,

Code:

icoFoam/cavity/constant/polyMesh/system/controlDict

You're meant to run the command from within the case's root folder, not from within the "polyMesh" folder

Best regards,
Bruno
