Hi, I am a new user in openfoam software. I'm going to solve the example of application that is similar to my problem I do. I got the following error:

FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Cannot find triSurfaceMesh starting from "/home/ali/Desktop/cyclone/constant/triSurface/cyclone.stl"

Please help me.
Thanks

Hi,

At its simplest, this error means that OF is unable to find the cyclone.stl file. You make reference to it somewhere (snappyHexMesh or surfaceFeatureExtract if I had to guess), but you haven't placed it in the constant/triSurface directory of your case.

Cheers,
Antimony
