Dear All,

I am trying to set a multiregion simulation. It is a steady solution, hence I am using chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam.

The point is that I get this error:

Where is the error, to you? It seems that I am setting wrong units of measurement to the BC. But where? Could you help?

Thanks,

Hi.

seems you have used the wrong dimensions for Pressure,

check 0/Fluid/p & 0/Fluid/p_rgh

p : dimensions [1 -1 -2 0 0 0 0];
p_rgh : dimensions [1 -1 -2 0 0 0 0];

as per the chtMultiRegionSimpleFoam tutorial.
