Hello everyone,
I am new to OpenFOAM. When I want to try to run conjugate heat transfer tutorial here
https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/T..._Heat_Transfer

I get an error while meshing. I ytpe blockMesh and got that error message:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
keyword vertices is undefined in dictionary "/home/seyfi/OpenFOAM/seyfi-dev/run/conjugate/2regions/system/blockMeshDict"

file: /home/seyfi/OpenFOAM/seyfi-dev/run/conjugate/2regions/system/blockMeshDict from line 25 to line 62.

From function const Foam::entry& Foam::dictionary::lookupEntry(const Foam::word&, bool, bool) const
in file db/dictionary/dictionary.C at line 566.

FOAM exiting

Regards,

Here is my blockMeshDict file:

applicationClass conjHeat;

startFrom latestTime;

startTime 0;

stopAt endTime;

endTime 21;

deltaT 0.002;

writeControl timeStep;

writeInterval 1000;

Hi,

please take some time and read the error message carefully. In your case it's actually very concise:

Code:
--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
keyword vertices is undefined in dictionary ".../system/blockMeshDict"
Also, you accidentally posted the contents of another file (system/controlDict).
