hotRoom tutorial

hi guys,

I am starting with OpenFoam and I am already facing some troubles. I downloaded that hotRoom tutorial, which is somehow quite similar to the project I am working on.

In the terminal I entered the hotRoom folder and i wrote the solver buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam and an error appears. It says the mesh cannot be created due to absence of the file "Points". I checked again tutorial contents that you can get directly from OpenFoam and this file isn't in fact there.

How can I do to run this tutorial?

Hello ,

you need to run blockMesh before running the solver
