I created my original solution from RotatingFanInRoom and got the AMI machinery working well. I am using OpenFoam to plot the pressure from a rotating rotor and stator in a tube.

Now I need to use the ACMI machinery because I need the rotating zone to extend to the wall of the tube. I was not surprised when doing a global substitute of AMI with ACMI failed. After looking at oscillatingInletACMI2D I added a "topoSetDict" and a "createBafflesDict". This is not working either. So, I need help. Here is my build script:

runApplication surfaceFeatureExtract
runApplication blockMesh
runApplication snappyHexMesh -overwrite

# - force removal of fields generated by snappy
rm -rf 0

# renumber the mesh
runApplication renumberMesh -overwrite

# - create the inlet/outlet and AMI patches
runApplication createPatch -overwrite

# - Run topoSet
runApplication topoSet

# - Create Baffles
runApplication createBaffles -overwrite

# - check the mesh
runApplication CheckMesh -allTopology -allGeometry -constant -writeAllFields -writeSets vtk

Things start going off the rails on createPatch:

Adding new patch ACMI1 as patch 7 from
{
type cyclicACMI;
matchTolerance 0.0001;
neighbourPatch ACMI2;
transform noOrdering;
}



--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:
Entry 'nonOverlapPatch' not found in dictionary "C:/ProgramFiles/ESI-OpenCFD/OpenFOAM/v2006/msys64/home/ofuser/pulser03/system/createPatchDict.patches.patchInfo"

Create Baffles says:

--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR: 
Cannot find patchField entry for ACMI

Then checkMesh can't handle the ACMI extending to the wall. So, here is my questions.

How should I setup this case? What .stl files should I have? How do I pick up the names in the .stl files to create the dictionaries for running ACMI in pimpleFoam?
