Error using MRFInterFoam in alpha1 field

MaralMohajer · March 6, 2016, 09:22

Hi
I'm trying to model sth which is really simple , just a box with back and front empty patch , using MRFInterFoam.

in case of alpha1 I receive this error:
size 3072 is not equal to the given value of 280

can someone from experienced people here help me with?
I'm new to OpenFoam and feel like needing some help.

Best Regards
Maral

Hi,

this error usually occurs when u have changed the mesh and try to initialize the fields with SetFields. Solution is to delete the old alpha.water file and copy the file from 0.org folder. When u use SetFields command it will actually write the field values in this default alpha.water file with correct number of cells (3072 in your case).

Give it a try.
