Hey
I am trying to mesh a rectangular tank with 5 pipes, but I am having the following problem with my blockMesh :

I am new to the openfoam so could not figure out the problem, can anyone please help me..

Hi.

That means that you have defined 112 points in your vertex list (so the last one has the label 111) but in block 31 you have tried to access point number 113 (with label 112.) Remember that the first point/vertex is number 0 not number 1.

hey thanks alot..it worked but now I am having a new error.. I just could not debug it..if somone know the solution please let me know..

That probably means that you have defined a block inside out, have you read the description of how to arrange the vertices within a block? It is very important that the vertices come in the right order when defining the blocks and the patches.
