Entry 'castellatedMesh' not found in dictionary

yangzo · March 20, 2024, 03:42

Hello,

I am trying to run snappyHexMesh for my airfoil however, i got this error:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
[0] Entry 'castellatedMesh' not found in dictionary "/home/yangzo/OpenFOAM/yangzobuntu/run/training/new/system/snappyHexMes

And the following error:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
[1] Entry 'castellatedMesh' not found in dictionary "IOstream"

I ran "mpirun -np 6 snappyHexMesh -overwrite -parallel".

Thanks in advance if anybody can help me solve this!

Not opening docx.
However I assume you do have "castellatedMesh" in your snappyHexMeshDict. In this case your error is most likely coming from a bad syntax. Look for brackets that are not balanced (missing opening or closing brackets) and statements where you might have missed a semicolon.
