Keyword undefined even though it is defined !!
 

Guys,

I've been having this peculiar problem. I defined all of the keywords which I have my blockMeshDict but somehow when I run decomposePar or even potentialFoam, the code says that it cannot find the keyword "sides" in my U file which I know for certain is there.

I tried looking for errors like no semi colon or etc. but somehow I don't seem to have found any.

I cannot understand why it does that. Does anyone else have this problem. I am running openFoam 2.0.1.

Here is my U file.

Hi

You are missing out on a curly bracket "}" in your definition of inlet in your U file.

Kind regards,
