Error when executing paraFoam

upuli · May 6, 2016, 03:11

Dear members
I developed a new solver and a case based on reactingFoam. When I want to run paraFoam
it within the case directory it gives the following error

created temporary 'particle.OpenFOAM'
fileName::stripInvalid() called for invalid fileName H2(copy)~
For debug level (= 2) > 1 this is considered fatal
Aborted (core dumped)

I checked the case folder several times but it does not contain any H2 file or invalid file name.
I referred the other threads related to this but I couldn't find solution

Hi,

In my limited experience, I have noticed that this almost always corresponds to having a space in the folder name or file name. You might want to check on that.

Cheers,

Hi
I'v found the solution. There were some hidden files in the directory. After deleting that problem was solved.

Thanks
