Hi all,

I recently upgraded to OpenFOAM 5.0 and I am trying to use the refineWallLayer utility. I have a relatively simple mesh. Both blockmesh and icoFoam run successfully. When I try to use refineWallLayer on, for example, a patch called "topWall" with the command "refineWallLayer topWall 0.5", I receive the following error:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
incorrect first token, expected <int> or '(', found on line 0 the word 'topWall'

file: IStringStream.sourceFile at line 0.

From function operator>>(Istream&, List<T>&)
in file /home/user/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-3.0.1/src/OpenFOAM/lnInclude/ListIO.C at line 149.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Note, that I also have the same problem when I use my OpenFoam-3.0.1 installation instead.

Thanks

Hi wildfire,

the correct syntax is as follows:

refineWallLayer "(topWall)" 0.5

Great, thanks so much!
