I get that error when I try to run blockMesh in my case directory. I got a sub directory "System" that contains the controlDict file.
I've seen this question before on the forum but no actual answer. I'm guessing I'm missing some enviroment variable, could that be it? I'm running OpenFOAM 1.70 on a windows machine. |

Greetings Anders and welcome to the forum!
You seem to be looking for this thread: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...7-0-win32.html Anyway, the file that blockMesh is looking for is located at "OpenFOAM-1.7.0\etc\controlDict". Probably it isn't finding it because you might have placed OpenFOAM's folder inside a folder that has spaces in it. For example, "C:\Program Files\OpenFOAM-1.7.0" is a big no no, because OpenFOAM does not like paths that have spaces in them... Best regards, Bruno

Hi Recep,
I know how annoying machines and the internet can get ![]() If you still have problems with this, please start a new thread here in the main OpenFOAM forum (http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam/) or preferably in the OpenFOAM Running, Solving & CFD sub-forum ![]() Good luck! Bruno
