Hi All


I've problem runing airfoil simulation.

After typing simpleFoam command, OpenFoam gives back information about my velocity boundary conditions, and as I understand it tells me that there is no such boundary conditios as "freestreamVelocity".


It is a bug or something?
In the past month I've used this condition quite often learing from airFoil2d tutorial and now freestremVelocity doesnt work even there.


Here is my terminal output:

I think there is no "freestreamVelocity" in OpenFOAM 4. It was only added with v6.
Is it possible that you used OpenFOAM 4 by accident? At the top it says "Build: 4.0" but the case is located in your OpenFOAM 7 run directory. That would explain why it worked before.

Thank You so much


I don't know how the hell OpenFoam has switched to older version and I never had situation like that so I didnt even look at the OP verios information.


Thanks one time
I think the topic can be deleted
