removal of patchfield entry
 
Hi,

I have a problem which I find difficult to solve. For some reason, I need to run my cases on version 3.0.0 of OpenFOAM. I use my cases from newer versions. The case is a tank with special form, with geometry as .stl file. I make a big box and use snappyHexmesh to cut out the inner tank. This have worked fine on the other version. The mesh is still created now, but seems to keep the patch entry in blockMesh.
I get the error:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
Cannot find patchField entry for allBoundary

I really can not figure out how to resolve this, and think it might be related to the difference in versions, but 3.0.0 is not that old.

Any help is much appreciated !

Hi,

Yours seems similar to an earlier thread. See if what is written in posts #2 and #4 help your case:
