[blockMesh] Unable to use type "Wedge "

R_21 · March 30, 2016, 01:32

Hi,
I have been trying to create a 3D wedge cylinder in blockMesh. For the two sides I have defined wedge patch. Following is the definition.
"
front
{
type wedge;
faces
(
(0 3 5 2)
);
}

back
{
type wedge;
faces
(
(4 3 0 1)
);
}
"

while running I am getting this error
"
--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
keyword type is undefined in dictionary ".back"

file: .back from line 84 to line 0.

From function dictionary::lookupEntry(const word&, bool, bool) const
in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 437.

FOAM exiting
"
Couldn't understand why it came so considering it did not show for the front patch that i defined. When I tried to place the faces of back in front the error goes but then checkMesh fails.
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here .
