CFD Online Discussion Forums - [blockMesh] error in using #codeStream for making blockMeshDict

Dear Fellows
I am trying to use #codeStream in blockMeshDict file to create a simple grid. The following is my blockMeshDict file initial lines:

Code:

convertToMeters 1;



vertices  #codeStream

{

    codeInclude

    #{

        #include "pointField.H"

    #};

    code

    #{

        pointField points(8);

        points[0] = point(0 0 0);

        points[1] = point(2 0 0);

        points[2] = point(2 0.05 0);

        points[3] = point(0 0.05 0);

        points[4] = point(0 0 0.05);    

        points[5] = point(2 0 0.05);

        points[6] = point(2 0.05 0.05);

        points[7] = point(0 0.05 0.05);



        os << points;

    #};

};



blocks

(

    hex (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7) (280 7 1) simpleGrading (1 1 1)



);

During compilation of grid, it returns the following error:

Code:

home/babak/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.x/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/Vector.H:58:7: note:   no known conversion for argument 1 from ‘int’ to ‘const Foam::Vector<double>&’

/home/babak/Desktop/second_version_simulations/Coarse_Grid/X_10/j0_1/constant/polyMesh/blockMeshDict::#codeStream:34:20: error: expected primary-expression before ‘(’ token

/home/babak/Desktop/second_version_simulations/Coarse_Grid/X_10/j0_1/constant/polyMesh/blockMeshDict::#codeStream:34:23: error: expected ‘)’ before numeric constant

make: *** [Make/linux64GccDPOpt/codeStreamTemplate.o] Error 1

Would some one please hint me where did I make mistake in writing #codeStream??

The full blockMeshDict file is attached as well.

The above grid compiles with removing code stream and defining vertices normally:confused::confused:
