Hey
I am new to OpenFoam and I am using OpenFoam v-2006
I am working with wigley hull case from https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM...oam/wigleyHull

I followed the following steps

1. blockMesh
2. snappyHexMesh -overwrite
3. transformPoints -scale '(2 1 1)'
4. cp 0/alpha1.org 0/alpha1
5. setFields

when I run setFields I get the following error:

I don't know why I am getting this error is coming
I will greatly appreciate if anyone could help me with this.
If you need any further information, please ask

Hi,

You do not need to remove the post. If you have the solution you may post it under your initial post so that if someone from the community faces the same issue with you in the future he/she can find the answer by a quick search without having to open a new thread.

Best,
Petros

hey,

the issue was when I did blockMesh the boundary file created had 'hull' as the surface name, while all other files in the 0 folder had 'hull_wall' as its name.
You can resolve the issue by changing all the 'hull_wall' to 'hull'

kind regards
