Good day to all,

I tried to simulate multiphase flow in Openfoam, by using version 2.3.0.
After volume mesh using snappy, I tried create patch for water inlet using creratePatchDict. (script shown in figure attached)

During execution of the file in OpenFoam, error of keyword patches undefined shown, which screenshot also attached.

Before moving to patch creation, face of the inlet has been created at the beginning using topoSetDict.

Please help me to give feedback regarding this.

Thank you and Best Regards

R.Kanesan

Hi,

The syntax for createPatchDict has changed from the version that you are using.

It should read something like the one mentioned here: https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM...reatePatchDict

Cheers,
