Hey everyone,

I am new to OpenFoam. I am trying to do wigley hull simulation. I was creating the background domain mesh using blockMesh and I got the following error

blockMeshing is applied to a simple cube

I tried googling the error and I couldn't find the solution. I would really appreciate if anyone could help.
Thank you in advance.

need to probably need to post your blockMeshDict. sounds like something strange in it.

Hey.

I found the solution for the error.
OpenFoam was not able to access the file due to tp lack of permission.
when I changed the permission it worked.
Thank you.

cheers
