A problem with porousSimpleFoam solver

AmirBaqa1987 · August 26, 2013, 02:56

Hi Dear all

I've used porousSimpleFoam solver to model my case in porous media.

after running the the case in terminal when I go to case directory and open U and P files the following message appear and i can not check the answers.

There was a problem opening the file /home/arjang/Desktop/PorousSimpleFoam/20/U.
The file you opened has some invalid characters. If you continue editing this file you could corrupt this document.
You can also choose another character encoding and try again.

and I've chosen another character encoding but it didn't affect.
what is the problem?

your help is appreciated.
Best Regards,
Arjang

I used the same solver and use gambit for meshing my case of study . for example , importing my case I used "fluent3DToFoam" for a 3d model and "fluentToFoam" for 2d model.

Dear Mohsen
I've generated Mesh by BlockMeshDict and I use openFoam-2.1.1
do you have any idea about my problem?
