Hy guys,
I am new to OpenFoam and C++,

I have to make an inlet patch for a semicircle section of an inside pipe. The semicircle pipe is comprised out of 4 blocks and it can be seen in the picture below with the chosen numbers. The problem is when I try to write them I do not know why is giving me the error that it can find neighbor cell faces.

Here is the code. Can you help me out please?

I managed to solve the error. It was a typo in my code. Please close this thread.
