IOobject NO_READ error
 

hello everybody,
I am a new openfoam user and am trying to simulate vortex sheeding of a cylinder in cross flow.
I have modified my solver pisofoam to calculate Nusselt number. This is how I have defined the Nusselt no in create fields.h file of the solver
volScalarField Nusselt
(
IOobject
(
"Nusselt",
runTime.timeName(),
mesh,
IOobject::NO_READ,
IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
),
mesh
);
ofcourse i hav added the necessary eqns to the my_pisofoam.c file......the solver is compiled with no error at all. But once i run the case I get the following error:
--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
NO_READ specified for read-constructor of object Nusselt of class IOobject

From function regIOobject::readStream()
in file db/regIOobject/regIOobjectRead.C at line 47.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

why dont you use a fake initial condition for nusselt in zero folder? ,so you can change code into MUST READ , i guess it will work ofcourse its not perfect way :D

If you specify NO_READ you have to provide an initial field for the variable:

Thank you very much sir for your reply, it worked successfully...

@nimasan
it does not work that way, I tried it out yesterday only....anyways thnks for your reply

hi
me too id did not work that way
it also tell me that must read from the /0 folder

It does work.

What did you do? Show your code.

My Code
 

Hi this is my code:

volScalarField gammadot
(
IOobject
(
"gammadot",
runTime.timeName(),
mesh,
IOobject::NO_READ,
IOobject::AUTO_WRITE
),
mesh,
dimensionedScalar("gammadot", dimless, scalar(0.0))
);
and when i run the solver:
it says FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
cannot open file
...../0/gammadot

!!!

It works for me.

Are you sure the error occurs at that point of your code?

hi
 

hi
really it's strange i don't know why it's not working at me.
Any way forget it, can you help me please in my at end of the following thread(link down), it is a major problem
and may be useful for every one please:
