Hello Everybody,

i´m tring to get a tutorial in OpenFoam to run, but unfortunatly i get the following massage:

Error getting 'application' from system/controlDict
Running false on /home/ofuser/OpenFOAM/Test/windAroundBuildings

I tried different tutorials and diefferent solvers.

I´m running OpenFoam on Native-Windows. (https://develop.openfoam.com/Develop...native-windows)

Please let me know if you have any idea how to fix this problem.

Best regards
Milan

This is my ControlDict.

The first step for tracking the problem is to verify what "foamDictionary -expand system/controlDict" returns. The next thing may (or may not) be newline vs carriage-return/newline parsing. I thought this was already solved though.
