Running twoPhaseEulerFoam recompiled with OpenFOAM 1.3 on a case which worked with 1.2, I get this error during the first time-step:

time step continuity errors : sum local = 2.39746e-15, global = 1.06432e-19, cumulative = 9.80563e-18
word::stripInvalid() called for string div(phi,Theta)
Abortito

What does it mean?

Thanks,
Alberto

Sorry, I solved.
There is a space in kineticTheory.C, between phi and Theta:

word scheme("div(phi, Theta)");

I replaced with:

word scheme("div(phi, Theta)");

and it works.

A.P.

stripInvalid is where it detects an invalid character in a word/string. It was switched off since it was found to take up non-insignificant amounts of time in OF 1.2. In 1.3 it prints an error message instead so one can fix the problem.

Please report any occurrences&fixes.

If you're desperate to run with your incorrect code there is a debug switch for string in the OpenFOAM-1.3/controlDict you can set to 0 to switch the checking off (but please report any occurrences otherwise they'll never get fixed)

Hi Mattijs,

I have a problem that seems to bee simular to the one obove.

I have modified simple foam to do heat flux calculations with an application that works in v1.2 but gives the following error message in v1.3:

fileName::stripInvalid() called for string T(kopia)~

I see in buoyantFoam that there is a T.org file (in 0 dictionary) needed but I have done my code without. I wonder if my problem could be related to what is mentioned above or with the excluded T.org file.

Many thanks

sorry to kick this old post, but since you asked to post these errors this seems like the most relevant location.

I'm trying to get FOAM to run some simple testcases by scripting them in bash. I'm using the $FOAM_RUN directory environment variable and I think that plays a role in why it fails.

The output I get is:

Exec   : blockMesh -case /usr/scratch/cwit/OpenFOAM/cwit-1.5-dev/run/091026Try2/Cyl100Lo

runAll.bash: line 3: 26980 Aborted                 blockMesh -case "$FOAM_RUN/091026Try2/Cyl100Lo"

When running the exact same line blockMesh -case "$FOAM_RUN/091026Try2/Cyl100Lo" from the shell blockMesh just starts and doesn't complain:

Reading block mesh description dictionary

Any idea why this occurs? I'll try and find the debug switch to turn this message off.

hi, I try to do the first tutorial named lid-driven cavity flow, but when I try to run blockmesh a error message appears. I'm new user of openFOAM and I don't know what to do, please somebody know what happen??

the error is:
