I am trying to find the y-plus for the turbulent modelling mesh. The following is the sampleDict code:

/*--------------------------------*- C++ -*----------------------------------*\
| ========= | |
| \\ / F ield | OpenFOAM: The Open Source CFD Toolbox |
| \\ / O peration | Version: 2.3.0 |
| \\ / A nd | Web: www.OpenFOAM.org |
| \\/ M anipulation | |
\*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
FoamFile
{
version 2.0;
format ascii;
class dictionary;
location "analysis";
object sampleDict;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

setFormat xmgr;

surfaceFormat vtk;

interpolationScheme cellPoint;

fields
(
wallShearStress
yPlus
);

sets
(
);

surfaces
(
wall
{
type patch;
patchName wall;
}
);


when i run using sample -latestTime i get the following error:
Create time

Create mesh for time = 500



--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:

I solved it by changing it to :

surfaces
(
wall
{
type patch;
patches ( ".*Wall.*" );
}
);

Its the version problem
