I am trying to simulate laminar flow over a delta wing in OpenFoam. I keep getting this error with blockMesh though, could someone help me out?

This is what my blockMeshDict looks like:

Hi,

It would seem that the face definitions for the "top" and "plate" patches have to follow a different order.

For plate, change (4 3 5 4) to (3 4 5 3) and for top, change (1 2 0 1) to (0 1 2 0).

As to why this is, it might be the case that when you have a wedge, OF is fine when the repeated vertex in the hex definition appears twice in a boundary patch definition.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Antimony
