I just installed OpenFOAM and tried to run a few of the attached cases. When I executed the nozzleFlow2D for this solver I got the following error in the log file:

can any one explain? help?

Thanks, Ido

Remove (by hand) any patches of type 'empty' with 0 faces in them. (just looking at the code - haven't tried this)

Hello Janssens,

Thanks for your help. I have looked at the blockMeshDict file and have not saw an 'empty' patch section with zero faces. Insted, it is an axisymmetric case and the axis is defined as a face of type 'empty'. I tried to remove this definition but it did not helped. First, blockMesh gave a warning about undefined face for which it gave the default type. Then when I executed lesInterFoam I got the same error again.

I looked at other cases with similar geometry and found one for icoDyMFoam; a case called 'movingCone'. This failed too. I, however, do not understand the error report so i can not say if for the same reason (see a copy attached)

Is there anywhere an explanation how to read this error massage?

Best regards, ido

After running blockMesh edit the constant/polyMesh/boundary file by hand. Remove the patch called 'axis' which should have 0 faces and adapt the patch count at the top of the file.

Thanks, it is doing the job.

Bye, Ido
